When 1 door closes, 10 more open

Doors close all the time. You might lose a job offer, face a rejection, or watch a once-stable relationship fall apart.

But here’s the truth: life doesn’t happen to you—it just happens. You get to choose whether each setback becomes a dead end or a fresh start.

If one door slams shut in your face, imagine ten more swinging wide open. Failure isn’t the final word; it’s the beginning of a redirection.

Perhaps that role wasn’t the right fit, or that relationship was holding you back in ways you couldn’t see. Take the lessons and allow them to fuel you to pursue all those ten doors.

Turning an “L” into a “W” is about shifting perspective. Instead of dwelling on what you’ve lost, focus on what you stand to gain. By channelling your pain into power, you tap into the agency and purpose that already exist within you.

Embrace the process. Yes, it might sting at first, but that sting can become your driving force to explore possibilities you never thought possible.

Adopt a mindset that sees every door closing as a message: you’re meant for something else, something bigger.

The opportunity you need is out there, waiting for you to find it. So step away from that closed door and start looking for the next ten that have just opened—because they’re there, ready for you to walk through with confidence and purpose.
