On this episode Ariel and Roger talk about closure. There is a natural desire for closure, but sometimes we become so fixated on wanting the closure that we miss out the opportunity that is around us. If we focus on one thing, we might miss some other things. But the opposite might also be true. The question is: what am I craving more? Am I craving more openness and spontaneity, or am I craving more closure and structure? And how do I provide that to myself in the giving situation?

Quote of the week is by Alexander Graham Bell: “Sometimes we stare so long at the door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open”.

Key Takeaways:

  1. We all have natural preference for openness or for closure.
  2. Make others aware of your preference at the front. 
  3. Having a balance between openness and closure is really important in decision making.
  4. It starts with being aware of your needs for closure, as well as your needs for openness.
  5. Be aware of yourself. Also be aware of other people’s need for closure.
