Life life to the fullest: keep some doors closed

I think this resonates with many, especially when we look at our past. We probably all have things, people and places, we want to keep the “door closed” for good. However, I think this also applies to future possibilities, and I really think some things are just never meant to happen, however much we would like them to. There is a saying “be careful what you wish for,” and I have multiple times in my life truly understood what it means. I have wanted something, maybe even worked extremely hard for it, and then realized that the reality of my dream isn’t what I thought it would be. I remember being headhunted for a few high profile jobs in New York City a few years ago, and remember taking the train back home from the interviews just with this biggest smile in my face – I couldn’t believe I was given the change to even be AT the door and given the opportunity to say “thank you, I would like to keep this door closed for now,” as I chose to carve my own path as an entrepreneur. It felt good to know that I chose working from home with my heart, not just because I didn’t have any other option.

    I can totally relate to “be careful what you wish for”! I’ve decided that if something is meant to be part of my life and journey, it will be made available to me. This doesn’t negate having a vision for and working towards my personal goals, but my ability to roll with events and allow destiny to take its path…was a sweet acceptance that brought many great things my way.
    Looking. Forward to reading the rest of your magazine now.
    My Best,
    Jennifer
