End or Beginning?

“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.” Alexander Graham Bell

This quote made me ponder about how many times one actually ends up in a ditch because we keep on looking behind us. We don't notice the slippery slopes in front of us and thus we get ourselves in other problems. And that is also the same with good
opportunities. Sometimes we are so entangled with the unsuccessful ending of the first that we don't see the next good opportunity that lies ahead of us, and eventually we keep on missing these opportunities.

I guess the important lesson to learn therefrom is that we should be able to act detached towards our feelings of the past, because we can't change the past anyhow... So we should be detached and look forward to our next opportunities to show that we are worthy of getting these opportunities, and we are not one of those people who just sit while the opportunities pass them by.
