Open Doors of Opportunities

I’m sitting here minding my own business and a thought came to me. Well, it actually came as a result of having heard a sermon and a point that was made that got “stuck” with me. “How can you tell when someone is in your life and they mean you no good? When what they are doing causes you to have to fight the giants from your past that you thought you had already killed”.

On this Journey of being my most Authentic Self, I’ve come to realize that the moment the urge comes at me to “pull away” from a person or group, I evaluate the Why. So, that’s what I did today and I saw the pattern. They remind me of the pain I’ve experienced in my past when I’ve been treated this way. So where do the Open Doors of Opportunities come into play?

Most times when I talk about Open Doors of Opportunities, I’m talking about the doors that God opens for me to walk through because He’s leading me to something better, helping me to overcome or just extending Grace towards me. But today I saw those Open Doors of Opportunities as doors that allow me to walk Out of a thing, situation or circumstance. It’s ok to leave the person or the group if I’m finding myself having to spend all my time fighting to stay.

In this case, they may not be bad people -for someone else, they’re just not good people for me and my peace of mind. I was able to see this Opportunity for what it was: me being able to voice my concerns about the way I was being treated and recognizing that I didn’t have to stay in an environment that didn’t allow my continued growth.
