As the saying goes, “When one door closes, another one opens.” But what do you do whenever it seems like every door opening slams shut right back in your face? It’s like you keep moving forward, keep finding hopeful opportunities, and it’s dragged through the mud. This is my current situation, and Lord knows that I am so frustrated. A door opens and faces me with a hundred closed doors.

These closed doors, though. They do not decide your fate. You might be detoured, but when you reach your destination, you will be so relieved for the closed doors. Sometimes the betrayal is a blessing. You never know what you’re being saved from heartbreak, misery, etc. Hindsight is always 20/20, meaning you might not realize it until it’s over, but when you do, you will be so happy that it worked out the way it did. I’ve been trying to keep this in mind lately.

I’ve been feeling really down. I’ve been ready just to give up, but that’s not me. I know that there is going to be something better in store for me. I trust that whatever is behind those closed doors is not meant for me. They are meant to be dwelled on. If you dwell for too long, you might miss one that has been opened for you.

So don’t stress when things don’t work out for you. Writing this has been a fair reminder for me to keep moving forward. We are worth so much more than whatever is behind those closed doors. It’s okay to be sad over it, but remember that things will get better.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end, you know. Everything happens for a reason. I never believed that quote until I started to watch how things unfold and how it would’ve been different if it went the way I wanted it to.
