When One Door Closes

The uncanny hand of fate has a way of reorganising or rearranging our lives for the best, though initially this reorganisation may look like a big disappointment.

Years ago, THE NEWS, a Nigerian weekly magazine, featured the success story of one of Nigeria’s greatest musicians, by stage name, NICE ( whose real name is Abolorede Akande). Nice got admission to University of Lagos, Nigeria, to study Law, but along the way, he pulled out of school because of financial constraint. In the midst of the disappointment, he took to his passion which is composing songs and singing. He developed and polished his talent in music composition through constant practcise.

To make both ends meet, he wrote and composed songs for famous Nigerian musicians. He equally focused greater proportion of his time writing and composing his own songs. When he was ready to release his blockbuster album, his album was rejected here and there by music producers and marketers.

However, the same uncanny hand fate that denied him the opportunity of studying Law in the University, later opened a door of greater opportunity for him in music. Today, Nice has amassed wealth, fame and fortune for himself in a way he would probably not have been able to do if he had studied Law and become a Lawyer.

Dear reader, are you feeling frustrated and disappointed at the moment? Let the success story of Nice inspire you. There is light at the end of the tunnel. What may look like a disappointment may not be a disappointment. It may be a blessing in disguise. There is a saying that EVERY DISAPPOINTMENT FROM GOD IS A BLESSING. What this implies is that any disappointment you encounter today, any seeming disaster or difficulty you face today can turn out to be a blessing tomorrow.

True, no condition is permanent. Every problem, every disappointment has a lifespan. There is a time for your lifting. And when it is your time to shine, nothing can hold you back. But before your time of lifting and during periods of disappointment, how do you comport yourself? How do you handle disappointment? It is easy to be discouraged and give up hope in despair, but these are destiny killers. A MAN WHO IS DESIROUS OF ACHIEVING SUCCESS IN LIFE SHOULD NOT BE DISCOURAGED BY THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE MOMENT.

Be optimistic. You are destined for success. Success is your birth-right. God does not create you to be a victim but a victor. As such, God expects you to confront and weather every storm in your life. God expects you to be a problem solver and not a complainer. The disappointment you face today is temporary. Bigger appointment, bigger opportunity and greater success are on the way. That is why you must not fold your arms. Stretch out your arms for greater opportunity. Look ahead for promotion and for greater glories.

Remember to always be on the lookout for big disappointments or problems; they disguise bigger and greater opportunities. In short, big disappointments come with bigger appointments. And what it takes to grab bigger appointments and opportunities is your mindset. As Reginald Mansel said, “AN OPTIMIST IS ONE WHO MAKES OPPORTUNITIES OF HIS DIFFICULTIES.”

Never use problems as an excuse. If Nice had used his inability to finance his Law school education in the university as an excuse for failure, he would not have become what he is today. There is always something you can do. If a door closes, it does not mean all other doors have been closed. It is impossible for all doors to be closed against you. God will never allow all doors to be closed against you. In God’s scheme of things, WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, HE OPENS ANOTHER ONE FOR YOU. This is why you must hold tenaciously to the belief that WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE AND THAT WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER DOOR WILL BE OPENED FOR YOU.

And finally, I leave you with this quote: "ON YOUR WAY UP, ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT REJECTION COMES BEFORE ELEVATION."

Until I come your way soon, go and live victoriously!
