Where one door closes, another opens

Sometimes, our plans are so specific and closed that any eventuality can collapse emotional stability. How should we deal with the fact that one opportunity ends and gives way to another? We will talk about it below.

Life is full of opportunities, we just have to know how to take ours. That’s why I talk here about opening a door. Sometimes we think that when something ends, the world falls on our heads abruptly. However, there is another way to look at it, and that is that perhaps we are being blessed with the gift of a new possibility to begin another exciting adventure.

I propose a reflection exercise. In the next few minutes, we are going to ask ourselves why the doors close, what experience and wisdom each of them leaves us with, and how we can take advantage of this knowledge to open new worlds full of opportunities.

“Don’t be like the majority, who are dying waiting for their opportunity and spend their lives saying: “I just haven’t gotten mine.”

-Héctor Tassinari-

Why is a door closed?

Have you ever thought about why a door closes? Don’t forget that we are speaking figuratively. A physical door can be closed by a push, by the wind, by turning a crank, by inattention… there are many possibilities.

Now, let’s extrapolate a closing of doors to human life. Why do they close or do we close them? There are many reasons we can think of located in dozens of possible scenarios. Let’s look at some:

A relationship that ends. You may think that, When there is nothing left to fight for in your relationship, you close the doorsince where once there were flames and a powerful fire, there are no longer even embers or ashes.A friendship that breaks. Sometimes a good friend can betray us so much that we are unable to forgive him. You we close the door to prevent it from continuing to hurt us and we end a relationship to get away from the pain.A job that ends. Many times, in jobs in which we are not happy, or because new business opportunities appear, we decide to leave and look for other professional paths. Sometimes, they are painful and hard decisions to make.

However, Let’s think about the circumstances that have led us to close those doors. Why have we reached this point? What has happened that makes me have to leave my partner, the person who was once the center of my life? Why do I have to leave the city where I am happy?
