The man on the commercial yells, “It's my money, and I want it now!” Now. Now. Now is a word with which most people are very familiar. “I want this now. I want that now. I don't want to wait for this, and I don't want to wait for that. I want it NOW!” is the mantra. This characteristic manifests itself greatest when denial after denial occurs. Like a steaming locomotive, the rage gathers force every time a closed door appears. The trouble incurred by raging and steaming is that open windows will pass one by, and the desired opportunity is never gained.
“No” is often a very hard word to accept, however, how many can think of a “No” that was given in their lives where at the time they were angry about it, but now they are very thankful? That girl, that guy, that job, that experience, once were desired, but someone said “No”, and now the reader is glad they did. Closed doors are like that. They are “Nos”. They are rejecting, and they are sometimes difficult to accept, but more than likely that “No”, that closed door, will only lead to an open window that will be much greater than if the door opened right now.
A wise person will allow closed doors to motivate them to look for the open window. Each closed door pushes a person closer and closer to the opportunity that will be best and without regret, and with that being said, the writer closes. Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
