About This Quote
Some people hold on to the belief that the reason doors are closed to them is because they have a closed mind. So, they feel locked out and unable to get in no matter how hard they try. As a result, they don’t bother trying and they may even shut themselves off from others. That’s not the case at all.
The truth is that people are not closed-minded. When doors are closed, it is because there are other people trying to get in who have the same desire to be part of your life.
