Change: Open a New Door!
Change: When We Don’t Realise We Are Ready to Open a New Door!
Changes in life, whether big or small, don’t typically change all at once. More likely there is a quiet shift and a gradual move towards something different. Maybe an opportunity was almost ignored, it could be a conversation that needed to be had didn’t quite happen, or you might just be feeling the beginnings of discomfort – but can’t quite put your finger on what’s wrong.
When we look back, it is often easier to see when things started to shift. You were probably drawn to new people or places, started feeling a little restless, started asking yourself the hard questions.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but in the moment these subtle shifts are easy to miss, they are not dramatic, but after the fact, you can see they were the beginning of possibly exploring opening new doors, so to speak.
Have You Felt a Quiet Pull Towards Change?
Some opportunities or changes come with uncertainty, and as such we are naturally hesitant, and we may weigh our options and come down on the safer side of staying as we are. We usually say things like, “it’s not the right time”, “I can’t afford it right now”, “I’ve got to put xxx first at the moment”, “it’s just not practical” and so on…
The thing is, our intuition very rarely shouts, more often it is a whisper of what might be. As such, initially it is very easy to push down the feelings and thoughts and reason that we should be happy with the status quo.
But, over time, dreams that refuse to fade, have a way of rising back up. It could be moving house, changing job, switching career, spending more time at home, having another child, taking up a hobby, finding love – the difficulty is that whatever the dream, if we wait until we are completely comfortable, confident and that we feel the timing is right, opportunities may just be passing us by.
Could One Small Step Change Everything?
Many of us probably believe, or tell ourselves, that transformation in any form, begins with making a big impactful decision, or making a significant change. In reality, that is rarely the case. Very often, change comes from making a series of small decisions, and step by step they lead to something more. Start by saying yes, instead of no and see if these moments lead to new life paths for you.
Remember that new chapters will unlikely come with a big brass band announcement, so look out for doors to open, and keys to unlock a new situation.
Timing is Significant
It is important to recognise that there can be a difference between fear of the unknown, and real fear that might come from an opportunity really not being right for you, or it being a door that shouldn’t be opened immediately. In this scenario, if we listened to our intuition, the chances are we know the answer already.
As you move through this summer, look out for an unexpected key to drop into your hands, maybe it will just open the door to something that changes everything!
