When one door closes...



It's kinda cliche to hear.. when one door closes.. the other one opens. It is not the matter of a door closes and the other one opens. It is more of how we deal with the closed door.. How do we actually deal with closed doors? How do we actually manage when part of what is used to be- can never be any more? The most difficult part is how do we handle ourselves for more often than not - changes in life like this requires more than just letting go.


The more we focused on why.. how the door closed- the more blind we became in realising there more than just a door that open.
The more attached we are with the particular door- the more difficult we are of letting go.

Life can be ironic. Or- wait!! Life IS ironic.
It is painfully beautiful - just the way we were born. It was painful for mothers yet so beautiful the very first sight of their crying infant. When a door closed- no doubt it will be painful especially for the heart and mind to accept the fact that it has gone. Things that happened around me recently has made me realised the beauty of God's plans for each and every single of HIS slaves. Some seemed so blessed with a perfect life and some were not that lucky - we began to judge their life through our own viewpoint and expectations.
I guess if we keep on looking at others fortunate lifes- we will end up being miserable.Why? Because we soon realised there are more than just one miserable door of happiness that is closed for us! Why suffer for no reason?? The fact will remain the same unless we are determined to change. To have that kind of determination- i guess one should always think good.



To start with - we should start thinking positively.  What has happened - has happened for a good cause. Strengthen our faith in God - belief that God has allowed things to happen for He wants us to cherish life. I belief when a door closes- it closes because God never wants us to be too attached to only one reason to be happy for the beauty of His creation and His gifts to all His beings are abundance. So when one door closes.. lets closed our eyes and say.. 'Dear God.. I belief in You.. grant me a deeper understanding of Your plans on me.. Please strengthen my faith and my belief. Verily, my life and death is for You.. O Allah.. "


 " Never give up hope on Allah's soothing mercy :
truly no one despairs on Allah's soothing mercy,
except those no have no faith"
(Yusuf:87)
