When one door closes, another opens; but we habitually look so long and so repentantly upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us. 1- Agree 2-Disagree
Most people are not sure whether there is another door open when the only door they have is closed. If only there is an open door, then, they will definitely see it. The only way is to pray hard for God to open another door so that you can get out of your problem quickly.
"God helps those who help themselves". I much prefer to solve my own problems as I believe that "Thou shalt not tempt the lord thy God". I get myself into these messes, so ought to get myself out no?
Sounds like something said by Maria in The Sound of Music: "The Reverend Mother always says, 'when the Lord closes a door, somewhere he opens a window'." There are always opportunities to seize, but they seldom come to those sat idly.
I agree with it but I would like to change one word in it. I believe that when one door closes, God opens hundred better doors for us. The only thing which is needed is to keep the faith on God and than on ourselves. There is famous saying that “Only in the darkness you can see the stars.†So whenever we feel that we have been stuck into problems we should think that God is planning better than before for us. When we have lost hope, we have lost everything. And when we think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope. Hope is a waking dream. I would say the best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. We should not wait for good things to happen to us. If we go out and make some good things happen, we will fill the world with hope, we will fill ourselves with hope. I believe in my God and than in myself so I always try to look beyond the closed door and I found it best because by this I never feel sad and disappointed.
When you are an open minded person, one door closes and automatically you will see many doors open. If you believe in a higher being and surrender your will to him/her... all the things will come to you...
"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" There are always open doors but if you aren't conscious of them then they don't exist.
"God helps those who help themselves"...I like it and i also believe it . Happiness and Sorrowfulness are part of human life .So ,don't be upset you listen that "I do not fear the clouds,the sun behind her laugh".
@Franken Stine making good posts and I likes your efforts. You are new here like me but try hard to be a part of this system which is really nice thing. Welcome here. hope you will prove a valuable asset for DP. @Spoiltdiva Nice to see you after few days. Hope you are enjoying good health. I was missing this Blue eye. New members really need your guidance.
Oh I'm usually always around. I check in to DP every once in awhile from work. We (coworkers and I) work from my home. Was having an issue with a member ( last 2 days) on here whose overly direct style irritates me. But I no doubt irritate him as well ha*ha!
Yes I was also thinking that you would be busy or there will be any other issue. BTW have a nice Day Dear.........
I will and the same to you. Don't worry about the DP Troll. He is jealous because even though you are new here you are well liked and respected, while he has been on here for years and *no one* likes or respects him at all. I'm sure you know who I'm referring to. Let the door close on him and open on our friendship.
I am agree it happens with some people that they got jealous and I know that about whom you are talking. Of course we should close his door and let open the door of our friendship. Keep smiling.
When one door closes for me, there will be a better open door and better blessings to come in my life.
Gee I wonder why you haven't received any likes for your well thought out comment? So tell me did you write it all on your own, or did you get any help? English speaker, or did you run it through Google Translate? Anyway thanks for sharing that with us, we are all so much the better for it.
