Just stay open to receive.
I can’t take someone else’s hand in my own if I continue to clench my fists.
It all sounds so easy. And at one level, it is. But we become so conditioned by the conversations of the mind that eventually, we become more shut down to life (and it’s possibilities) than we realize.
The challenge of staying open is that life is going to inherently throw us curveballs. It’s going to rain on our parade, piss on our party, and poop in our pants. The work isn’t about pretending that obstacles don’t exist or denying when something shitty (no pun intended) happens. What staying open means is that in the moment, you find a way to reinterpret the information in a way that doesn’t shut you down. You see that often, events are actually neutral, but we just label them as “bad” or unwanted because they go against our own personal agendas.
When our agenda isn’t fulfilled we get mad, and we blame everything and everyone.
That’s well on our way to experiencing system shut down.
Staying open simply asks us to do just that: stay open.
Don’t get down on yourself. Don’t get negative. Don’t let
