When One Door Closes Purpose Is Present

“When One Door Closes, Another Opens : But We Often Look So Long And So Regretfully Upon The Closed Door That We Do Not See The One Which Has opened For Us.”

When one door closes many will open, that is a saying that I am sure we have all heard more than once in our life on multiple different experiences, but do we really understand it, or do we say it with expectation or faith?  There is power in our words but there Is much more power in having faith behind the words we say, everything we want in life begins with prayer, faith, and action in that order. Without faith we lack confidence, self-worth, and unsure of our place in this world there is a conflict within about what we do deserve. The beauty about God’s love is that it is unconditional, and he loves us despite the path and mistakes we make along the way which he already knew, but his purpose and promise is unwavering it is up to us to know when to let go and allow him to take lead. It does not matter what our circumstances and how bad you feel you have been, no one is less deserving of God’s love the real test is learning to accept your past for what it is, understanding that the past is a temporary moment of self-reflection and allow growth to happen.  The reality is a lot of the times we are busy fighting to hold on to things that God is trying to remove not to harm or hinder us but to elevate and move us in the direction he needs us to go.

Over the last two years this is the first time in my life I have fully understood what It means to trust God and let go the urge to want to control the events in my life that were simply out of my control. There has been a series of doors opening and doors closing and each time I go through moments of doubt and fear. In those moments I have learned to not react but embrace what is right now focus on what I do have control over which is my mind, instead of creating stories I focus only on gratitude. I would take a second to reflect on all the things that are going right in my life and how can I stay active in my purpose without being shaken. One of the most rewarded shifts has been my growing faith being patient but remaining focused on my goals and just how far I have come I have confidence that I was not brought this far just to be left to hang. I give myself no other options but to keep going there is no way around it I must face my trials and grow through them as I am aware that for every new level there are new tests and a new level of strength that is required.  The question I had to ask my self was “are you willing and ready to fight for your purpose, are you prepared to give all even when it seems too hard.  The answer I found came from within I made the choice to focus on fear, the fear of giving up and never making my dreams a reality.

Today I ask this question to everyone reading are you ready to fight for your purpose, are you ready to give your all or nothing at all? Life is always happening are you prepared to keep going for what you love or are you prepared to settle with the sour taste of regret for the rest of your life, with the never-ending question of what if I just kept going?  A life filled with regret is more   painful that scars from fighting to create a life you love and deserve. The choice is yours but remember anything in life worth having is worth fighting for you choose which fight are you prepared to take on. The best advice I can give to everyone Is to remember to choose happiness within first, always choose to be grateful over ungrateful and always remember your purpose is a gift from God to be used for something bigger than you. Give yourself permission to be great, the less control you allow people to have over your vision by seeking approval, what you have is a gift from God which needs no correction or approval from anyone. Work with what you have now and create what you deserve but never settle with what does not make you happy or grants you peace and fulfilment.  When one door closes your purpose will come alive are you ready to be unapologetic about life?
