You never know exactly what is on the other side of a door until you go through it. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like I’ve spent a lot of time speculating about what doors I should take and taking the doors that other people have pointed me toward. Sometimes these paths make sense. This door leads here and that sounds like a reasonable place to be. I’ve probably let what other people say have too much sway in my actions. Ultimately our happiness is in our own hands, and I think it is about time I took hold.
It’s easy to get caught up in the feeling that we don’t have control or that we’re swept away in this tide of things that have come before us. We can fall for the idea that only a few doors are open to us or that there are only a few prescribed paths we can take. If we let this be then it will be true.
This life is beautiful thing because we have absolute control over what we do. That isn’t to say that we won’t have to deal with consequences if we make a poor choice. But that is part of the beauty of learning. I’m done only taking the doors that have been opened for me. I’ll kick down the doors that I want to take from now on. This life is a precious gift and It should not be wasted on anything for which we don’t feel a great passion. No more barriers. I’m walking through the door.
