As a Law of Attraction business coach, I often speak about alignment, clarity, and intention but there’s another, quieter piece of the puzzle: openness.
Openness is less about chasing and more about not shutting things down too quickly.
I’ve always had a naturally curious, open personality. I enjoy conversations. I ask questions. I linger a little longer than most. And I’ve come to see how much that simple trait has shaped my life, and expanded my knowledge.
Recently, a woman stopped by my home looking for a cat. It would have been easy to politely end the exchange and move on with my day. I had a schedule. Tasks waiting. But I stayed. We talked for a few minutes.
And during that unexpected conversation, she shared an opportunity, one that would allow me to move forward on a passion project that has lived in my heart for some time.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened.
A thoughtful exchange with a woman seated next to me on a plane.
A brief connection while walking into an appointment.
Moments that could have been transactional. But weren’t.
Doors tend to open to ordinary spaces.
When Openness Doesn’t Come Naturally
Here’s the key: openness doesn’t require you to become someone you’re not. If you’re naturally reserved or more task-focused, you don’t need to overhaul your personality. You simply need small, intentional shifts.
If openness doesn’t come naturally, try this:
- Pause before closing a conversation.
Instead of defaulting to “I need to run,” allow one more question. One more minute. - Lead with curiosity.
Ask, “What do you do?” or “How did you get into that?” Curiosity creates connection without pressure. - Loosen your internal timeline.
Not every interaction has to be efficient. Leave a little white space in your day for the unexpected. - Say yes selectively but consciously.
You don’t have to say yes to everything. But check whether you’re saying no out of … or alignment.
