Helen KellerWhen one 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.
About This Quote
This quote is about how we often let the past dictate the future, rather than accepting it for what it is. Rarely do we allow ourselves to be inspired by our past successes. Instead, we dwell on the things that don’t work out and hold them up as proof that all is lost. This quote is also about how sometimes, when one door closes, another opens.
