I was just thinking about writing out, what keeps circulating in my head. I’m also realizing not every unlocked door is the right door, and knocking on locked doors that don’t open isn’t in alignment, either. Fear could also keep you from opening the right door.

Regardless of what you let go and what stage of life you’re at, you’ll never know when the past will come knocking on your door. Seems like life tests you, to see if you’ll move differently even if it’s a completely different scenario. But you’re right, there’s no way of moving forward without thanking the past.

I really liked how you summarized that. Not all doors are for you, no matter their current state. Open or closed. Have to embrace the past to move forward.

Thank you, i agree. I think the struggle is really when you feel like you’ve embraced your past enough to move forward, but our brains are typically wired to warn us if a new situation feels like a past situation, from what we’ve been through. Through meditation or reflection you can come to the consensus that they are just passing thoughts,but deciphering the “right” door to walk through when that is happening, is probably the toughest.
