Do you believe the saying "when one door closes another door opens"?

no...I believe that when one door closes, you have to FORCE another door open. You have to make it happen...

Definitely agree. I've experienced that during my final year in college. I've been deprived of a chance to finish my studies by a company but a larger door has opened for me. I've been given a much great opportunity and finally finished my studies and found a job as well. God gives us things that are meant for us in His time.

I couldn't agree more goldeneagle. Life doesn't hand you anything. You have to work for it. Sometimes you have to work really hard just to get a fraction of what you need. You get nothing in life by waiting for life to give it to you. You must take it. My mom always said, you have to make you own luck in life or you won't have any luck at all.

I absolutely agree with the saying. There have been times in my life when the thing that I wanted to happen did not happen and just when I was on the verge of feeling frustrated, something else came up which on the long run turns out to be better. So for me I absolutely agree with this saying. Cheers! Ram

Maybe. But then it's us who makes our life. If we want anything to happen,it's all because of our actions. We cannot depend on luck,it's us who do our luck.

I also belive it. Do you ever watched movie Rain Man and Temple Grandin, they all had autism,hard to communicate with people around,even with the family, but they were all talented in special areas.

I do think that there is some truth to this saying. It might not always be easy to see this to be the case all the time, but I do think there is some truth to this.

I don't think it's an odd saying, I think it's true. It is, I guess, if you live in that kind of optimistic, hopeful mindset. If you don't, then I can understand. But I think it's ultimately about taking advantage of the opportunities around you and not letting them pass by. I also think it's about everything in your life happening for a reason..Not necessarily the same thing as "fate" (in my book), but just saying that we live and learn and make better choices the next time around.

"Sometimes people are so busy looking at the closed doors, they cant see the newly opened ones" is what a famous author said once, but i dont know his name :P always keep moving don't let anything get you down.

i have found this statement to be true a lot of times. I cant back track on what exactly happen though.

I found this to be true. Whenever my girlfriend breaks up with me i find that there are so many other hot babes out there. So the saying goes, when one door closes there are other doors that opens.

Absolutely it is part of my faith and hope that continues to drive to always believe that in some form the next door will either be better or at least progressive for me. See I think that while under stress we continually concentrate on the negativity effects which does not allow us to think clearly that sometimes these negativity in some way are in place so that we can learn from it. So when the other door opens per say it may not be as lucrative as the one before but it certainly for our health, and sanity will be better.

yaeh, when we have get problem we thing all doors were closed for us. sometimes it true, but sometimes, there has a open door in somewhere but we havenot found it yet. so, try to find it. when you solve your problem. then you can say"when one door closes another door opens"!

Yes, I do believe that. That's really true for me. I experience that many times. When I find no way out, there will be another way open. That's God who arrange it for me. God who owns all doors will open the doors to human beings, all human beings. And life will never find no way if we still believe in God. Believe that He never leave us alone.

Hi Littlefranciscan. I have always found this to be a true saying. It has always been this way with me. I have never found it to be untrue.
