Invite a time when you really wanted something - a job, a person to say, “yes,” or an acceptance letter.
Imagine that you grabbed the handle of the red door and it was stuck. You kicked the door because it was stuck. You were prepared to go through it but couldn’t,
You shifted 180 degrees because it was stuck - and saw a yellow door, wide open.
You crossed over to an opportunity that was open and good.
On the other side there was someone who was more right for you, or you got into a better school program, or got a better job - better for you than you had wanted.
When you think about the time of the stuck red door and the hairpin turn to the yellow door - was there anyone there who was your guide encouraging your turn?
This is a trail angel who guided you to a hairpin turn.
How are these moments formed, or are some of the most important parts of our lives guided in some way - who helps us discover our journey?
Where in your road of life is God or your higher power? Are they in the open yellow door and in the stuck red door?
Are they in the trail angel?
What are the guiding moments and deep kind of knowing and perceiving that is our birthright?
