People say, " When one door closes, another door opens"! What do I do if the door never opens?

Question

And do you believe that's true?

The door doesn't seem to be there!

Answer 1

I can't believe the simplistic answers you are getting. People love to delude themselves and others into thinking that if they just do or think in the 'right' way, something positive will happen. Nonsense. Life is random. We can't predict with certainty what will happen to us in the future. Saying "another door opens' is wishful thinking--not a prediction of any certainty. Luck plays a major role in peoples' lives. Some people have more luck that others so they like to claim it's the result of hard work. That's not always true!

Answer 2

That is impossible. In this example when a door closes on you, you are forced out. Going out a door is the same as entering a door. A door is two sided, it is both a enterance and a exit.
Now lets look at the part where you say if another does not open. Yes one opened, but did take one by default or by design? Success is "EARNED". Regaurdless of the level of difficulty if the right level of effort mixed with proper desire success will happen.

If your frustrated when someone tells you to keep trying you do not understand success. What if it takes 562 trys for you to succeed and you tried 42 times and stop believing in the law of average and in statistical law? BINGO.. Doors just don't open for me (victim thinking).

I can say that anyone can be successful. I also can say that most will never put the right amount of effort in to realize that ability.

"The door will open for you if you push hard enough." Even if it is secured and blocked by concrete, you can rent a bull dozer or a wrecking ball and take it down. If you hurt you hurt your little fist and cry and go home and not look for the proper resources and have a I will find a way attitude, your right the door will NOT open for you.

Answer 3

Sometimes you may think that the door isn't opening but it could just be that it is not the door that you wanted to open so you are not realizing it is there.

Answer 4

I believe this that this is true because I believe that there are always multiple ways of viewing and solving problems or situations. If you feel that the door does not open, then you need to either find a different way of viewing the situation, or you need different "tools" to solve the problem. Since you appear "stuck," I would suggest talking to other people about the specific problem you are facing, and ask them how they have solved either that situation or similar situations. Read about people in your situation, do research on the internet or in books or magazines, talk to as many people as you need to.

There is never only one way to approach a problem.

Answer 5

If the door never opens then you are at the wrong door. Find another!

Answer 6

life is like a book. when you end one chapter of your life, you are ready to start a new chapter, a new beginning, a fresh start. just like a door as you said. once you close a door, don't look back. you will see paths leading to different doors. choose one path that will lead you to a door that will open new opportunities and new challenges in life. you will be presented with a lot of options and opportunities, choose one that will lead you to a frest start. there are always doors to be opened if they are not open yet. it's a matter of choice.

Answer 7

If a door has not opened, then the first door has not closed.
The finality of a closed door is the very opening of an imposed growth. (the world and its experiences outside)

Answer 8

of course if you lose an opportunity there will be other opportunities that would come your way. you just have to be patient..

besides if you want to have another door opened for you then you need to do something you have to take an action but never expect that it would come so easily you have to work hard.

and if you feel that youre still going nowhere then relax you dont have to push yourself to hard if you really cant. sometimes we just need to let everything fall into place and youll be surprised by the results .. just keeep your faith that everythings going to be okay..

bottomline is you need to trust God, and yourself and be patient..

Answer 9

Sometimes you have to open the door for yourself. You might not have noticed the other door opening but it's up to you to walk through it, you might not be ready yet.

Answer 10

Yes, this is absolutely true, but just like a pot a water, you can't wait for it to open (or boil). Get yourself together, creat goals, stick to your life-path. You may not see the other door open til you are well through it. Remember, retrospect is 20/20.
