Closed doors are not always signs of failure — they can be sacred signs of favour and ways of rerouting us toward our true path.
There are moments in life when everything we hoped for slips through our fingers.
The job we prayed for didn’t come.
The person we loved disappears.
The business crumbles.
The dream dies quietly.

And in the aftermath, we sit in silence.
That deep, echoing silence of a closed door.
It’s painful. Confusing. Sometimes humiliating.
We begin to ask the question that haunts so many of us: “Why me?”
But what if — just what if — that closed door was not the end, but the beginning?
What if life’s “no” was an act of divine grace?
Rejection, ghosting, and loss can feel like abandonment. But more often than not, they are redirections.
- That person who ghosted you? They were never equipped to hold the weight of your heart.
- That failed project? It taught you resilience, creativity, and who you truly are when things fall apart.
- That dream that didn’t materialise? It created space for a new vision, one more aligned with your soul.
Sometimes, it takes a slammed door to remind us that we were trying to enter a room we outgrew.
In the moment, you may not see the blessing. It takes distance. It takes healing.
But one day, you’ll look back and whisper, “Thank you, life… for not giving me what I thought I wanted.”
So if you’re facing a closed door today, breathe.
Mourn what was.
But then… lift your head.
Because somewhere down the hall, a better door is slowly swinging open.
And this time — it’s yours.
