I’ve been told throughout my life that “when one door closes, another opens.”

It’s helped to comfort me in the face of disappointment and provides an optimistic outlook during a difficult transition.

But, I wonder … Has my willingness to accept these defined entrances and exits to opportunities, prevented me from realizing the vast possibilities available?

Should I simply be content there’s a door willing to invite me in? Or is it possible to explore life outside the doors?
