How open are you? How open are you to people, places and things? If your openness is half hearted then your feelings of being stuck, or bored, or frustrated will linger on the periphery of your life. Monotony is hardly conducive to feeling alive. You may be fine with that, even resigned to it, but the real 'YOU' craves new connections, new adventures and new possibilities. You are most likely aware of these desires percolating just beneath the surface, but yet do not know where to begin.
Its simple: Start where you are. Start by responding with openness and curiosity to everything that meets you throughout the day. There are countless opportunities in every moment just waiting to be discovered, things that can you enrich you beyond measure.
Now when you decide to open up, the parts of you that prefer being closed off, disconnected, stand offish will cling to the status quo. Yes, they will. Resistance will rear its head. But that's okay. Feel it. Be aware of it. Do not judge. Just observe what comes up. Sometimes the act of daring to push the boundaries of your comfort zone is enough to put them to rest. As Isaac Asimov puts it -- "It has been my philosophy of life that difficulties vanish when faced boldly."
So be bold. Be brave. Be welcoming. Life is so much better when we are open, when we greet everything that crosses our paths as a source of inspiration and wonder. Meaningful synchronicities and connections begin to happen as if by magic. Fresh energy sweeps in rejuvenating the old and new life flows once again. By embracing our curiosity and trusting our desires to lead us to new horizons makes it possible for us to experiment and explore more of life.
The truth is those desires are always within your reach. They are your compass, pointing you toward a deeper and more meaningful existence. Even the smallest shift in thinking or doing can create this opening. The possibility is that if you open yourself to life than it's possible for life to conspire in fulfilling those desires.
Openness is a virtue and one that helps us shed stagnant ideas, beliefs and habits. And because of it we feel lighter/happier. In our lightness of being, we want to extend and share this vibrant energy with others and in return others can't help but be compelled to do the same. If you incorporate the energy of openness into your daily life you are setting the stage for new connections, new adventures and new possibilities to manifest all around you.
