Do You Wait for the Door to Open or Act to Open The Door?
When you act to open the door, you are being mindful.
Life is a constant stream of activity.
Like a flowing stream or river, life is always on the move. So long as we draw breath, we’re in motion.
And that can be extremely overwhelming sometimes.
I know how this feels. Choices and decisions can be scary and exciting at the same time. Some are more uncertain than others, too. But the outcome is seldom completely sure.
Things not of our choosing happen to everyone. That’s life. Each of us comes from a different, unique place, education, experience, social situation, and more. And like it or not — some people have it far easier than others.
But that doesn’t change that we all get to choose. Further, we get to choose with strength or weakness.
Some choices and opportunities will be better than others. Sometimes you need to decide to open the door, while other times the door will open itself.
And by the door, I am referring to the quote by Alexander Graham Bell.
“When one door closes, another opens.”
