Those who live their lives intensely will have found themselves faced with situations in which the door in front of them was ajar. Life, in fact, eternally oscillates between coming and going, between letting go or wanting something or someone to stay with us.
We know it can be complicated, but we are given only one life, and for that we must go in search of what makes us happy in living it.
For this reason, part of our happiness lies in knowing which doors to close and which to open completely. It is good to remember that a door ajar, therefore, is only equivalent to half happiness.
Close doors that lead nowhere
As unfair as it may seem, sometimes there are circumstances, situations or even memories that block us in the present. We will not be able to move forward and we will not feel like moving forward until we let go of the chains that bind us and which, probably, harm us.
The sooner we realize what is hurting us, the sooner we can close that door and move on.
“Not out of pride, not out of inability, not out of pride, but simply because there is no more room for that thing in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, knock the dust out, stop being the person you have been, and become the person you are."
-Paulo Coelho-
Surely it has happened to you, for example, that someone you loved or in whom you had full trust has decided to leave or simply left, without deciding it. Everything changed from one moment to the next, and for this reason the world seems to us a cruel place. There is no reason, but what we wanted with us is now gone.
When such a thing happens, you have to learn to let go and close the door to pain. There comes a time when pain no longer has to hurt: experiences are made to learn and memories to know who we are, not to prevent us from being.
Don't let what wants to hold your life back can do it. Our today is not the same as yesterday, and we cannot let it become tomorrow if it does not make us happy: no one must remain on the threshold, without being able to enter or leave.
A person who does not want to be with us does not leave us in doubt. Make decisions, and force others to make them: stay or leave.
Make up your mind to open the doors you want to open
It is not only our present that remains paralyzed, but also our future. And it's not just the things we don't let go of that paralyze us, but also the things we don't allow to reach us.
"If opportunity doesn't knock, build it a door."
-Milton Berle-
Everyone happens to be afraid of an unknown or new situation. We don't know what will become of us now that that person is gone or what will happen if we let something or someone into our life, and they upset them.
But remember, if you feel this doubt, it is because something inside of you is asking you to give it a chance. Life is for those who have the courage to live it, don't forget that.
Open the doors to new experiences, allow those who want to stay to stay. It can be the best way to be truly happy.
Always seek your complete happiness
Sometimes we may come to think that our doors to the future are completely closed and that there is nothing behind there that is able to give us strength.
Still, your happiness depends on you, and what may seem closed doors may, in fact, be open. In fact, very often we have what we need next to us and we do not realize it because we are convinced that what is happening to us has no solution.
For our sake, we need to understand that the world will not stop turning to give us time to complain of something that has already happened or to deny ourselves something we need but don't have the courage to face. The way continues, and we must continue with it.
“And when you fail to open a door remember that it is not always the key that is wrong; sometimes it's the lock that is or maybe you're trying to open the wrong door. "
-Marwan-
