We’ve all been there. Sometimes, you just need to close a door – not because you’re too proud, incapable, or arrogant, but because it simply doesn’t take you where you need to go.
.
The feeling that not every door that opens is worth walking through. Sure, some might look promising at first, but they don’t always lead to where we want to be.
.
In fact, some doors can lead us in circles or waste our time. And sometimes, the hardest but most necessary choice is to walk away and shut that door behind us.
.
It’s important to close the door on the past, yes, the memory will probably always be there. But don’t waste energy trying to forget your mistakes – after all, we learn from them.
.
So don’t let those past mistakes control you, either. Don’t give them your time, your energy, or your space. The past is done. It can’t change, and it shouldn’t have a hold on your present. If we’re constantly looking behind us, we miss what’s right in front of us.
.
Closing a door doesn’t mean that it’s the end. It’s just the point where you pause, take a breath, and turn the page. Sometimes, we get so focused on what we’re leaving behind that we forget the opportunity that lies ahead.
.
When you close a door, it doesn’t lock you in place. It frees you to move forward. It creates space for the next step, the next chapter.
.
For me, I’ve decided it’s time to move through a different door. I don’t know exactly where it leads, but I trust that it’s the right direction. It’s time to find out. I feel it in my gut – the need to see where this new path might go.
.
So, if there’s a door in your life that’s no longer opening to anything real or worthwhile, don’t hesitate to close it. Let go of what doesn’t serve you. You’re not abandoning anything; you’re just clearing space for something better to come in. The next door, the next opportunity, could be exactly what you need.
.
And just remember the WD40, in case that door you’re trying to open hasn’t been opened for a while.
