Wall Paper-When the Door of Happiness Closes
When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. ~ Helen Keller

Helen Keller what a wonderful story her experiences were very challenging but she overcame the obstacles which plagued her life. The quote caught my eye because it discussed the door of happiness. Helen Keller’s door of happiness closed until the specialty of one Ann Sullivan. This wonderful teacher provided another door that opened with multiple challenges, some that often increased Ann Sullivan’s thoughts of quitting.

As some of you know I’m a Registered Nurse and over the last 30 years I can say there have been many days I have stood before the door of unhappiness. For example: when patients are not treated fairly, if insurances deny services, when medications prices continue to rise and patients cry about purchasing needed medications like blood pressure and diabetic medications.

Doors of happiness may close but, as Helen Keller quoted another opens but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. I stood in front of the door of business for a long time. The thoughts of opening a business door scared me. I did not understand the language of business. Seeing the door open and looking beyond my fears I decided entered.

Once I entered the door, mentors created and welcomed aboard, e-books pop-ups to give a hand and advertising platforms sad, “here Carolyn advertise your business here.” Everywhere I walked though this business door, wonderful things have happened. So travel with me and imaging yourself walking though the world of business, what do you see and hear? I can see business rooms with gorgeous wall paper, tables large enough for everyone, people who love to share with other people, laughter and humor to enhance the day, help and mentoring.

I believe when business slows down there are leaders that encourage you to continue. Helen Keller’s quote says we cannot see other open doors because we focus on the door that closed. If I would have listened too many who said, “You cannot be a nurse you must choose another field” I would not have pursued my heart’s desire. I believe we must follow our heart and not be afraid to venture into unknown territories. Standing before a close door means nothing but standing before a closed door. But opening the door and seeing the multiple adventures to experiences I say run and keep running capturing every moment.

Thank you Velma for your comment. With God on our side we can do anything.
 
Velma Joseph    449 day(s) ago
Thanks for sharing this awesome article Carolyn; I agree with Helen Keller’s quote “we cannot see other open doors because we focus on the door that closed.” Sometimes we need to venture out because God never closes one door without opening another…. Blessings and continued prosperity in ALL your endeavors! Victorious Velma

Thank you Jennie I appreciate your comment We do focus on the door that closes instead of all the doors that are available.
 
Jennie Young   449 day(s) ago
Wonderful! And, it's so true, we do focus on the door that has closed instead of all the open doors still available to us!

Thank you for sharing your feelings with us Carolyn. All of us have the ability to achieve, but too many never give it the effort it deserves. Much happiness and success to you.
 
Carolyn Coleman-Grady   450 day(s) ago
Ann you are so right, and I agree with you. Those who can not see. I hope they reverse the inability to see to a vision.
 
Annemarie Berukoff   450 day(s) ago
Great inspirational blog. Reminds me of a verse: there are none so blind as those who cannot see. We are transitioning into amazing times but many spent more time choosing their dinner menus than making a plan for future potential.
 
Carolyn Coleman-Grady   451 day(s) ago
Thanks Dennis, I believe and I am very glad, I made the decision to get on board with this industry.
 
Dennis Thorgesen    451 day(s) ago
You have to know you can especially in internet business. There can be no doubt. You are through the door, just take your ideas and run with them. If you believe you will succeed you already have.
 
Carolyn Coleman-Grady   451 day(s) ago
Dennis I glad you persevered and pushed forward. People will sometimes tell us what we can not do, but will not encourage us in what we can do. I had to push too and believe I can.
 
Dennis Thorgesen    451 day(s) ago
Carolyn I spent years working with the developmentally disabled, as a teacher, nurse, and care provider. Nothing would have made live harder than being told I could never enter this field. Business for me is nothing new in one form or another most of my life has been spent in one business or another. Internet business has proven no different.

Cynthia Gallimore    451 day(s) ago
It is heart breaking to watch friends or family members long for what could have been, so much so, that they can't see what God has in store for them in the future.

Great write up Carolyn - alot of this points to our ability and courage to walk by faith and not by sight - to trust that there is something better for us around the corner and even though we may not comprehend it, we are more prepared than we know!
 
Lawrey Jack Smashnuk   452 day(s) ago
Very lovely comments Carolyn, Thank you for keeping the star light shining, the light that warms us and moves us forward in those moments when we fear the door to opportunity and fun shared with more kind folks. The Universe is riddled with light and there is no question of half full or empty, either way YES is the way to go.
