Sometimes when a door closes a whole universe opens.

When we close a door we do not do it out of pride nor even less out of cowardice. We do it because what we invested no longer fits with what we received, because there is no desire left, because the puzzles, the spirits, the dreams no longer fit. That is when it is time to cross the threshold of fear to open other doors.

Now, although we are more than used to hearing that when “one door closes another opens”, There are nuances to take into account. Those entries, These new universes of opportunities do not appear by magic. You have to go look for them, you have to encourage them and put certain internal mechanisms in place to make this happen.

All of us suffer, at times, from the inevitable habit of tuning into the same emotional channel.: that of suffering, that of attachment to what was lost, to the memory of what was not achieved, and that of the bitterness of so many disappointments experienced. Somehow, and keeping in mind this abyss of complex emotions, what we often do is leave countless doors open with the sign of the “just in case”.

However, we must stop to feel one thing: the breeze that those half-open doors bring. It is a cold wind with the smell of stagnant time, of dried tears, of unfulfilled dreams, and where, from time to time, the echoes of those voices that once hurt us arise.

It is necessary to close them, for our balance and emotional health.

The door we dare not close

Before talking about those universes that open behind many doors that bear our name, let’s first delve into those that we have not closed. What does it really mean to end a cycle, a stage, leave a job or even end a relationship?

It means above all, knowing how to resign, and renunciation is something that no one has prepared us for. Society itself and even the education we have received have always convinced us that we can have it all without giving up anything.

However, if we think about this delicate act of bravery for a moment, we will realize that The very act of maturing, growing and obtaining a certain quality of life involves learning to close doors, all those doors that brought us unpleasant winds.

Life itself forces us to have to make decisions constantly. Because to be happy, let’s not forget, you have to make decisions. However, If we do not dare to cross those thresholds to slam the door definitively on what hurts, what does not fit and wears us down, what we give up is our own happiness.

Because let’s not forget, Happiness has no price, it has rules, and one of them is to dare to be brave. Existing is ultimately forcing us to move forward, it is putting one foot in front of the other, while our heart opens to new opportunities with a dose of fortitude and a lot of courage.

Keys to facing the end of a stage

The unsaid words cling to yesterday when there was opportunity and cowardice defeated us. We are weighed down by lost opportunities and infinite “whys” that will never be answered. There are so many times we look at yesterday that our present fades. and this is not healthy or natural.

No one can “live” in two places at the same time., either you move forward or you become that beautiful “bookmark” that remains forever in the most painful chapter of a book. Without allowing yourself to discover how that story ends: your story.

Strategies to end a stage and find a new personal universe

You have talents, emphasize your virtues, your values, your achievements. Also, remember that your strengths are also the people who truly support you and love you.Design a plan for your immediate future. Visualize where and how you would like to be in half a year.
