This episode delves into the very real challenge of moving forward after a loss, and why it’s important and essential to beginning the next, best chapter of your life.

Question “Why” for this episode: Why is it so challenging to turn around, look ahead, and move forward after a loss?

What Jennifer Hudson’s elimination from American Idol teaches us about closed doors and open windows.

How I turned around from the closed door after I lost the mayor’s race and why doing that opened up windows of opportunity for me.

Are you staring at a door that is closed or are you refusing to close a door that needs to close?

Getting unstuck:

1. Don’t just stand there staring at a closed-door; turn around.
2. Take the lesson, leave the hurt. How to heal from the grief and trauma that comes from loss.
3. The dreaded “F” word: Pushing past the fear and uncertainty of moving forward.
4. Dream again; remain optimistic about what might be on the other side of that open window.

Homework:

What is the closed door that you are staring at that you can’t seem to turn around from? Imagine turning around from that door and walking toward the open window on the other side of the room.
