"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 which has opened for us." ~ Helen Keller
What a fantastic, powerful quote! I have always admired Helen Keller.....she's one of our country's greatest people who's ever lived. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for sharing the quote. Being partially blind, it is interesting that Helen Keller would use vision as a means of communication. Of course, she speaks of the inner vision, not a vision of the senses. Human beings tend to see what their thoughts tell them to see. Doors are only closed if one believes that they are. In most cases, what appears to be a closed door, is only the human footsteps that must be taken to move one out of his comfort zone into a state of growth and development. Wisdom is the innate quality belonging to each one of us. Some develop it, others do not.
