"When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us."
-Helen Keller
Helen Keller was a very inspiring woman. She was blind and deaf, yet still made a big difference in the world. She wrote this quote to tell the world life moves on. A door of happiness is not a literal door, but instead a mental thing. People often think when one good thing ends their happiness is gone. Most people do not get back in the swing of life when life knocks them down. Instead of looking for the good in their lives they stay hung up on meaningless set backs. Helen Keller wanted people to see the good in their lives. She knew no one should give up. She accomplished many great things. Helen started a school for the deaf and blind. She learned to speak and teach even though the odds were against her. She realized even though she was disabled, life had to move on. All in all, Helen just wanted to people to get back up when life knocks them down. Don't dwell on the past. Focus all your energy on living for the moment. Always try to see the good in life.

A lot of people should read this quote. They should try to deal with whatever hardship thay have and move on.
ReplyDeleteWow. This quote brought to my attention that I am holding on to a bit of my past (which I don't usually do). Thank you for saving me the heartache and time.
