🚪 Embracing Closed Doors: A Pathway to Open Opportunities🚪 In our journey through life and career, we often encounter closed doors—those moments of rejection, setbacks, or missed opportunities. It’s easy to focus on the frustration of what didn’t happen or what was out of reach. However, it’s crucial to remember that each closed door is not an end but a signal to redirect our focus and energy. Every closed door invites us to look around and see the doors that are still open. They offer new paths, fresh perspectives, and uncharted opportunities. The key is to maintain resilience and optimism, keeping our eyes open to the possibilities that lie ahead. So, the next time you face a closed door, take a deep breath and pivot towards the open doors around you. Embrace the journey of discovery and growth. Remember, every setback is a setup for a greater comeback. Stay determined and keep moving forward. The best is yet to come. #Motivation #CareerGrowth #Opportunities #Resilience

If you knock and it doesn't open, it's not your door. You can try once or twice, but don't waste your life knocking on a door that will never open. Simply, it's not for you. Life is full of limitless options. For every closed door, you can find 10 other open doors. Explore new horizons, try different ways, and learn to move on. #doors #lifeexperiences #time #jobs #advice

What Do You Do When a Door Closes?: Embracing Opportunities Beyond Closed Doors ✨🚪 Imagine standing in a room with 10 doors. Behind each door is an opportunity. Let’s say you start on the right side, try the first door, and it won’t budge. You have two options: keep trying or move on to another door. Personally, I’m stubborn, so even if that first door had 15 locks, I’d persist, forgetting that there were still 9 other doors I could try to open. After exhausting all efforts, doubts creep in: maybe I’m not strong enough, determined enough, or worse, maybe I forgot how to open doors. But there are still 9 other doors to try. In this season of life, I’ve learned that sometimes, a door simply isn’t yours. And that’s okay. It’s totally human to grieve that loss. Today, I encourage you to, instead of doubting yourself, see it as a nudge toward a different path you might not have considered. You are smart enough, you are determined enough, and you definitely know how to open doors, lol. Remember, when one door closes, it’s leading you to the right one, the door just for you. Honor those feelings of frustration and disappointment, and then when you’re ready embrace the journey. Your door is waiting, and when you find it, you’ll open it effortlessly. Don’t give up; keep exploring.

In life, we sometimes come across closed doors that seem impossible to open. But not all closed doors are meant for us to open through knocking. Instead of feeling discouraged, we should understand that closed doors can redirect us towards better paths. It's important to learn from these closed doors, focus on the ones that are open to us, and trust that they will lead us to where we need to go. By this mindset, we can find opportunities, build resilience, gain wisdom, focus our efforts, and trust in the process, knowing that the right doors will open for us in due time.

"When one door closes, another one opens?" In our professional journeys, we often hear the comforting phrase, "when one door closes, another one opens." While this is an encouraging thought, it's crucial to remember that doors don't open by themselves. We have to put in the effort, turn the knob, and push them open. Life presents us with countless doors – opportunities that await our initiative and determination. If one opportunity doesn't work out, it doesn't mean the end of our journey. Instead, it challenges us to seek out and actively pursue the next one.Just as in our careers, where we must continuously learn, adapt, and strive, the act of opening doors requires action. It's about being proactive, resilient, and never giving up on finding the next opportunity that aligns with our goals. So, let's remember to not just wait for doors to open but to take action, turn the knob, and push forward. The opportunities are out there, but it's up to us to open the doors. #CareerGrowth #OpportunityKnocks #ProactiveMindset #Resilience

🔑 When one door closes, another one opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. – Alexander Graham Bell Life often throws unexpected challenges our way, and it's easy to get caught up in the disappointment of a door closing. Whether it's a job loss, a missed opportunity, or a setback, it can feel like the end of the road. But in these moments, it's crucial to remember Bell's wisdom. A closed door isn't the end; it's an invitation to look around and find the new opportunities waiting for us. Every end is a new beginning, and every challenge brings with it the seed of growth and transformation. To all my connections facing uncertainties or transitions, take heart. There is another door opening for you. Stay positive, stay proactive, and keep your eyes open for the new opportunities that are just around the corner. #Opportunity #Growth #PositiveMindset #Resilience #CareerJourney

I had a great time chatting with Jon Wolheim from Games For Love. Meeting him and chatting with him is one of the many gifts I received this Christmas from the gaming community.

Feeling lost in the job market? You’re not the only one. Recently I found myself looking into fields I had zero interest in – analytics, graphic design, coding – all these technical areas that just don’t resonate with me. I was chasing the wrong path, all to find myself back at square one. There had to be a better answer. And that’s when I came across this idiom that perfectly described the way I was feeling - ‘A square peg in a round hole’ When I read it, everything clicked. I was trying to force myself into roles that didn't align with my true strengths and passions. Reflecting on this, I realized that while it’s true that I’m not very technical, I do excel in fields involving creativity and have a genuine love for working with people. It would make much more sense to find a career that fits these strengths instead of trying to conform to the market’s demands. The conclusion I came to? Stop trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, instead, find your square hole. Figure out what you’re good at, embrace what makes you unique, and look for opportunities that align with your values and interests. The right position may not immediately make itself apparent to you, but it will save you the years of internal conflict that will stem from fighting and supressing your true interests.
