Unlock Yourself / by Alexander Lyadov

The problems holding us back in life are like tricky locks.

Intuition whispers that something precious lies behind the door: treasure, freedom, or a personal meaning. But the door remains impassable.

We ring and knock with our fists, waiting, then banging again.

“I want to reach the next level,” says one client. “It’s like I’ve hit an invisible wall,” explains another. "The old methods don't work, and I don't know how to do it the new way,” adds a third, frustrated.

People are looking for someone to open the door for them. They do not realize that they are the key.

This is a tough truth to grasp alone. People tend to see the lock as something outside themselves—believing that circumstances or even evil people are holding them back.

Yet the years pass, partners and situations change, but the outcome stays the same. Finally, a person realizes, “Maybe it’s all about me?”

Then begins the long search for an “engineer” to fix him.

This journey is full of disappointments because a person is not a clock to be repaired. It’s a blessing if you meet someone who turns you back toward yourself (it happened to me). His honest, attentive gaze reflects the real you.

You are everything: the question and the answer, the safe and the code, the host and the guest.

And the door opens on its own: "Well, finally. Come on in, dear!"

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander
