Behind one of these doors, lies success. YOUR kind of success, whatever it is.
Imagine you are in the middle of a big waiting room. You are surrounded by all sorts of doors, but only one of them will take you to the place you’d love to go. The doors have no signs, so there could be anyghing behind them.
This is not the typical waiting room. This room is familiar, it has some nice couches, Netflix on the TV, WiFi, AC (that only you can control), good phone reception, coffee, pizza, cookie dough ice cream, I mean, what else do you need!? A puppy? Okay, yes, it also has a puppy.
It’s even connected to your friends’ and family’s waiting rooms, and they can come and go as they please -better yet, as YOU please. They are all in their own cozy waiting rooms, surrounded by unopened doors. They seem happy, or at least, at ease.
Behind those door is the unknown.
You hear tales of failure, rejection, heartbreaks, setbacks, and challenges from those who hace tried opening them; challenges that you’re not sure you can handle.
But behind one of those doors lies success, YOUR kind of success, whatever it is. The one thing you’ve always dreamed of becoming is right there, behind one of those doors. But, which one?
Give yourself a minute to envision what is behind the winning door. If you could dream of having your ideal lifestyle tomorrow, what would it look like? What things would you like to have? Who would you like to be surrounded with? How would you like to be perceived by otheres? Go ahead and write or draw everything you envision on the next page. Treat this space like your own vision board.
The only way to find out which door leads to your dream is by taking the risk to start opening some of those doors.
Most people choose to stay in the waiting room. I mean, why riks it? Why go through all that hassle, pain, and disfomfort if nothing can assure you that you will ever find the right door? You look around, and you realize that you’re surrounded by people who have never opened a single door and still had a decent life. So, why bother?
I have bad and good news for you:
Bad News:
The door you’re looking for will never be the first one you go through. Like it or not, you will have through multiple doors before you find the one you want. For some people it may take just a few doors, but fot otheres more than expected.
Good News:
- One thing is for sure, every single door you open, good or bad, will get you closer to the right door. Every door will have a purpose. Each one will have something to teach you. Plus, you will know which door not to open next time around, since you already know what’s behing it! Every door is a step closer to your success.
- Every door you open will change you. Since you will have learned different lessons and been exposed to new perspectives from the different doors, you will not be the same person after opening them, therefore your waiting room will not be the same either. Things you enjoyed during before may now seem like a waster of time, and ideas you thought were crazy may not sound that crazy anymore. The more doors you open, the more your worldview expands and evolves.
- The life you want is there, behind of the doors. And the cool thing is that NO ONE can take it away from you. Only you have the right combination to open that door. So, you are not comepting against anyone but yourself. The faster you take action and start opening those doords, the sooner you will get to the right one.
- The right door will noe be your final destination. Instead, it will lead you to the opportunity of a lifetime, and if you take it, it will offer a new set of doors just for you -doors you had NO IDEA existed.
