Easy Openings

There’s an Opening before me. How did it get here?

A Smooth Approach

Openings are about moving us forward and that can happen in a multitude of ways. One thing we know in our examination of Openings is that they come in all shapes and forms. Let’s look at easy Openings – yes, they do exist! Easy Openings are ones that happen naturally and sometimes, uneventfully. They fit into our lives and still bring us to a new place of growth and expansion.

Easy Openings fall in place within the natural rhythm of our lives. They are like a smooth-flowing river – in motion in peaceful way – without rapids or large obstructions. An easy Opening may be meeting someone we love and deciding to spend our lives with them. There is joy, anticipation and genuine love. Yes, it is a whole new place – one that we welcome and embrace.

Easy Openings can bring us a long or short distance. Their impact is not the central aspect – it is the way we encounter and experience the Opening. An easy Opening makes it easy for us all the way through it. We may have paved the way for it by getting ourselves ready for its arrival. It may be so natural it is effortless. It may be such a good fit for us that we fall right in and make the most of it.

Making A Choice

There is always a choice for us to make when an Opening appears. Do we enter it or pass it by? Will it be good for us? Can we handle the change it will bring? Is that change welcome? A lot goes into deciding whether to enter an Opening. With easy Openings the elements of our choice are clear and the challenges minimal. We see what the impacts of either decision will be and can choose without discomfort or uncertainty.

We may not know at the time of our choice that we are dealing with an easy Opening. Our actions and criteria are the same as with any other Opening. We examine the nature of the Opening before us, how it may change our lives, the benefits and challenges of entering it, what rejecting it may mean for our lives, whether it offers a direction forward that we welcome, think is good for us or that we have some trepidation about.

If we have to gather information or examine the nature of the Opening before we make our choice, what we need is readily available with an easy Opening. We know where to go and what we must do. The impacts of entering or passing the Opening by are clear. Our choices can flow leading to a good sense of both the Opening and the direction it will take us in.

Things Flow

When we are dealing with an easy Opening, things flow from beginning to end. We are taken by the current rather than having to push against it. We have what we need and the path before us is evident. It is the contrast between climbing a rugged mountain and walking a level path through a meadow. The wind is at our back rather than pushing against us and making our way forward full of effort and challenge.

With an easy Opening, we usually find ourselves in “the zone” – a mental state of focused concentration where distracting or irrelevant aspects fall away. We can navigate the Opening skillfully and if we need anything we know how to find it. People who matter in our lives do not present challenges with easy Openings. If they do, we have clarity on where we want to be and can deal with them effectively.

This state of flow enhances our experience of an Opening. We bring our best to it.

Made It

Often with an easy Opening we find ourselves through it or past it with a minimum of hassle. It carries us. It is a welcome change from the challenges and uncertainties that some Openings present. We move forward in a pleasing way and feel good about the experience and where the Opening has taken us.

I like this. May more of my Openings be easy ones that take me where I want to go.
