Life is hard. We often make it harder but staying stuck and missing the opportunities before us. Of course a situation might not even appear as an opportunity until you have latched on and pulled yourself out of a challenging place.
When one door closes, another door opens. When we feel like giving up on ourselves, our dreams, our careers, or anything really, we need to look for that door. It might only be open a little bit. Look carefully. And then take a step. Don’t give up.
There is a difference between giving up and changing direction. Not all dreams and hopes are possible. And the reality is that we each change and adapt and mature every day. What we believe is important and what we want one day may become less important or even undesirable later on. We need to be flexible with ourselves. That doesn’t mean we are giving up, it just mean we pursue something different. We see the open door and follow the path.
Just remember to keep moving. One day at a time. Sometimes, one minute at a time.
May you see the open doors along your path so you never have to give up!
