It’s Time to Stop Looking at the Closed Doors Behind You

Your happiness is in front of you.

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.” — Helen Keller

Life is full of transitions. From the day we’re born to the day we die, life seems broken down into chapters.

There are the carefree early childhood days, awkward adolescence, and high school. Possibly college. Our 20s. Our 30s. Our 40s…..

Friendships, relationships, marriages, young children, grown children, births, deaths, careers.

You name it, there are hundreds of compartmentalized phases and events that can represent who we are at a particular time in our lives.

These phases and events all weave together to bring us our lives.

Things are always shifting and changing. Change is the nature of life.

The danger lies in letting a chapter define or determine who we are and whether or not we’re happy and content.
