Your mind is happiest when it is closed.

You know what you like. You know what you don’t like. There are no uncertainties because there are no unanswered questions. Your personal “do’s and don’ts” keep you secure and unwavering. Everything in your world can be catagorized into absolutes. This means all things are either “black or white” and are therefore predictable. No time or energy is wasted on “gray areas” which simply don’t exist for you.

Your closed mind allows you to predict the future and plan ahead with confidence. You will reach your goals, because you know you will reach your goals… And more often than not you reach our goals within the time-frame you establish. You’re perfect and your life is perfect… and you keep watch over every little detail to make sure it stays that way.

So, why risk the unknown?

Does it really matter that you’ve been feeling like something is missing, for years?

What could possibly exist beyond your firm control over your life?

Could it be the life you know deep down inside, you’re supposed to be living?
