About This Quote

The doors that open and close in our lives are not nearly as important as the person we are when we open them. The doors will only be a small part of the person who opens them, but they should be a part of the bigger picture. People will only remember the door if it leads to a better life, to a better self. Doors need to lead to something else. They don’t exist as an end in themselves, but as a means to another end, that of a better life or a better self.
