Stop staring at closed doors

May 2,2020
Share:

In life we really do not get all we set out to achieve.

This is not because we are incompetent or lazy about actualising those things.

Sometimes we do all we possibly can and even out do other times but yet we get a door slammed on our faces.

We sweat, worry, keep late nights, spend on a particular project and just when it seems we got something good coming we get a NO and we are cut out.

It just seems that all your efforts are in vain and this keeps you demoralized and leaves you staring at what would have been.

You probably had it all planned and worked out and then boom, one morning you woke up and it’s all gone.

These things are really hurting but how long do you intend to stare at that closed door?

Life generally is unfair and having many doors shut in your face doesn’t mean you are allowed to settle.

We’ve all gotten so many NO’s in our lives that even our minds get accustomed to them.

What worries me is YOU who keeps staring at the closed door.

Don’t you think you are shooting yourself in the leg?

It’s said that when one door closes so many others open up.

How do you intend to see the opened doors if you keep staring at the closed one.

All your effort went to the drain on the last project you got a NO but you’ve got to look around.

There is another door that will remain open for you, you just have to look in that direction.

You can get so many NO’s but one YES is all that can change your very existence and take you to the place you’ve always wanted to be.

You can’t afford to keep yourself shut out and to make sure this doesn’t happen, stop staring at closed doors.
