The Door Is Open

Agatha Christie once said, “They are busy knocking that they do not notice that the door is open.” Sure, you may have experienced failures, but don’t dwell on them. People may have treated you badly, but don’t dwell on the past. Do not focus on your past failures. Instead, focus on how you are going to make things better for yourself.

Whatever you may have gone through in the past, let it go. Never think poorly of yourself. Always, always think of yourself as a powerful person. Because whatever you accept in your mind, you will get back. If you accept positive thoughts in your mind, you will get positive feelings back. You will feel good about yourself. You will like yourself even more. You will have the power to dream, to do great things. But if you accept bad thoughts, negative thoughts in your mind, you will get negative feelings back. You will not feel really good about yourself, your life. If you want to enjoy your life, you must stop accepting the wrong things in your mind. Because what you accept in your mind, you will get back.
