WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES ANOTHER DOOR OPENS
Most
people are too attached to the past, to what they are familiar with, and
therefore, miss opportunities that stand right in front of them. Doors may
close, but there are always other unlimited numbers of doors – new
opportunities. The world is full of opportunities, if we could only see them.
The Infinite Power is boundless, and so the possibilities are without number.
Not
every plan works out. There are losses and failures, there are problems in
relationships, loss of money or job, and sometimes unpleasant things happen. We
don’t always have control over these happenings, but we can exercise control
over our attention and attitude. When one of these things happens, and we focus
our attention on the loss – the closed door, we see only a closed door with the
resultant frustration and unhappiness, but if we could only move our sight and
attention away from the closed door, we might be surprised to discover a row of
open new doors.
It might
not be so easy to move our eyes elsewhere, due to various reasons, such as
attachment to the old and familiar, and fear of the new and the unknown.
Many
find it difficult to stop their stream of controlled thoughts, and
consequently, their mind keeps focusing on the loss, failure, and frustration –
the door that has closed. Will these thoughts help in anything, except of
creating suffering and preventing any change and improvement?
You
might agree with what is being said here, but how can you free yourself past
attachments and see new opportunities? How can you bring yourself to see, and
enter the new doors that open for you?
This
might need some effort on your part:
- You will need to be more aware of your
thoughts.
- Desire to free yourself from thoughts
that keep you stuck in one place.
- Develop some degree of self-discipline.
- Develop some concentration ability and
control over your mind.
- Take advantage of the power of
affirmations and visualization.
- Some degree of inner peace is also
required, since inner peace helps you reject unwanted, negative thoughts,
and become more open-minded, positive and happy. When you experience inner
peace, it would be easier for you to detach yourself from the past, keep
an open mind, and therefore see more clearly the new doors that open for
you.
- Alexander Graham Bell -
