When the door of happiness closes, another opens

Sunny Feb 15, 2006

Maybe we have to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Happiness lives for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

    Your quote "Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do." I can not agree more I try to live this everyday with out hurting others, Great perception or mindset to have instilled. You only open up new new doors when you not only believe this but your daily intention is working towards this. A video I think everyone should view is Down the rabbit Hole and movie about intention and what we can ben in the future by using our intention to live our life.

    A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step -lao tzu, Chinese philosopher (604 BC-531 BC). This saying is my favorite line, and I read it in a post about life. It's inspiring and makes complete sense. As this feature says, when one door closes, another opens. It's not about sitting back and mourning for our losses, but to keep our head up and look for opportunities. I read this excerpt in this piece about how to become successful which I would like to share with the readers. It's inspiring and touches your soul.

    "All of us want to take chances in life, but we hold ourselves back because of the fear of losing or failure. But should you really give up or motivate yourself to take that next step to success? Life can be harsh and painful at times, but with passion and determination, you will definitely achieve success."
