Through the hallways of destiny, you walk by door after door, of different shapes and colors.
Some beckon to you. Some call out your name. Some are slightly open, while others are closed rigidly.
You wonder, what if I step into this door? What if I try to open it a bit more?
But the light at the end of the hall shines upon you. It says, "You are called to something greater."
You frown. "Why must I be the one to walk this lonely path? Why can't I just open one of these doors near me, and go into a room where I can be happy?"
The light says, "You can easily do that. But then you will not find me, the truth you've been looking for."
There's one door in particular that looks particularly inviting. Only open about a quarter-way, it is the most enticing door of all. You stand around it daily, and you think to yourself, "if only I could open this door, I could go in and be happy."
But the door never opens fully. You are always standing outside, wondering what it would be like to enter.
Years pass, and the light slowly grows dimmer.
One day, the door finally opens a bit more, allowing you to peek inside.
Looking inside, you see a small room. One with everything you ever wanted, all the things that you valued.
But as you step in, the light suddenly shines in your face, blinding you. "Is this what you truly want?'
You hesitate. In that moment of hesitation, the door suddenly closes on you, as if to punish your hesitation.
You try to hold the door open, but it seems the stronger you push against the door, the more forcefully it pushes against you.
You take a step back, and you realize. This door is not meant for me.
The door continues to be slightly open, but you shake your head.
"This room was meant for somebody else."
And so, you forcefully shut the door.
Walking towards the light, you realize this was the best thing you ever did.
