Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

S3E20 - Your Open Door


Listen Later

Join McKay this week as he encourages listeners to recognize opportunities, overcome hesitations, and boldly open life's doors. Reviewing significant doors that have been opened in the past, such as the creation of the Panama Canal, McKay explores the significance of taking well-calculated risks and embracing change as a means to opening doors in our life.

Drawing inspiration from these and other events, McKay underscores the importance of identifying open doors and advancing despite intricate circumstances. He goes on to note that these stories serve as reminders that significant personal growth often originates from navigating difficulties and welcoming novel perspectives. Above all, our host reminds listeners here today that doors are waiting for them, even if they seem impossible or improbable, and that God may be knocking - asking them to exercise their faith, step through that door, and witness the good things waiting for them on the other side.

Episode Highlights:

  • Seizing opportunities
  • Growth through change
  • Unseen opportunities
  • Adaptation and global impact
  • Transformative moments
  • Personal journeys
  • Intuition and self-fulfillment
  • Stepping through doors


Quotes:

"Life is subtle, sometimes you barely notice yourself walking through the doors you once prayed would open."

"Often we walk through doors so we can find the next door waiting for us on the other side."

"Change doesn't always come in dramatic events. Sometimes it's the small, imperceptible impressions that lead us to greater discoveries."

"Stepping through doors of opportunity requires embracing uncertainty and recognizing that growth often comes from navigating challenges."

"Lucky people have a strong sense of intuition, which makes them lucky, and more importantly, they follow that intuition much more frequently than other people."

"Some doors need to be closed, and the reason that closing those doors frees us up is because now we can see what's before us to seek the open doors available to us."

"God will force no man to heaven. He'll call, persuade, direct, or write and bless with wisdom, love, and light in nameless ways, be good and kind, but never force the human mind."

"Don't let fear hold you back, because here's the truth, you are extraordinary. You are meant to step forward, open the door, and do what you've been afraid to do and take action."

"Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from making bad decisions."
