It's One Door Swinging Open, And One Door Swinging Closed

Sometimes it's hard to remember that when a door slams shut in your face that another one, or perhaps a window, might be opening for you somewhere else. We tend to get tunnel vision on the doorknob right in front of us. Maybe if we knock a little louder? Look around for a hidden key?

I'm guilty of this. Trying to make something work that just wasn't meant to be. But how scary is it to think that you now have to turn around and look for option B. And option C. Maybe D-Z.

Part of positivity is reminding yourself that this door you want to go through so badly isn't the only door. Hell, it isn't even the only building! As human beings, we're naturally curious about what's out there, so why limit ourselves to one pathway?

So before you go Jack Nicholson/The Shining on that door, maybe it's helpful to think that what's waiting on the other side isn't what you think is going to be on the other side. Maybe it's a place you don't want to be at all.
