When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. —Alexander Graham Bell

Good morning, I really enjoy this quote. If we change our thoughts to a positive level of Right Thinking, Right Emotions & Right Desire which it will take training to put our mind in that direction we will begin see these doors opening and closing.

I LOVE this particular quote because it's SO personally meaningful for me. I've wasted a lot of energy on many things. Namely, my estrangement from my immediate family, the fact that I'm still struggling in my life and I've yet to find lasting peace. Yet, perhaps there's a more optimistic way for me to look at things. I know many very talented people and I was born surrounded by a lot of talent, but not many opportunities. Perhaps that's the way it was meant to be. If people truly believe in this quote, they'd also know that.
