"When one door closes, another opens."

You’ve certainly heard this expression before, but hearing it is one thing and believing it is another. It goes “When one door closes, another one opens.” This isn’t just a feel-good quote, this has basis in science and physics.

Let’s start with Newton’s 1st law of thermodynamics which is “Energy and matter cannot be created nor destroyed.” Everything around us takes the form of energy and matter including intangible things like ideas, opportunities, and thoughts. Everything has a frequency to it. What happens then is that when things change it’s not that anything has been lost or gained, it’s that things have transformed. So when one door closes that energy transforms into something equal somewhere else, which is the other door opening.

The reason this is hard to believe is because we don’t always have immediate evidence that this happened. Sure another door opened, but if it’s across the world then that’s not going to do you much good, right? Understanding that everything is connected, these energetic shifts always return to you over time and in indirect ways. It might seem completely unrelated, but the goodness that enters your life is tied to the struggles you experience.

The most important ingredient in this equation is faith. It requires faith that things happen for a reason. That you’ll get exactly what you need when you need it. That when a door closes another will open in some way beyond your understanding. Newton’s 3rd law of motion is “Everything has an equal and opposite reaction”, which means that these ripples are constantly being created to maintain abundance. Napoleon Hill, the author of “Think and Grow Rich” calls this the seed of equal and opposite benefit. 

You must have faith that you’re being taken care of, that your connection to abundance is always intact regardless of the circumstances, and that you’re on the right path. It’s a more encouraging, empowering, and inspiring way to live to assume that things are going to work out for you, and it’s your choice to make that your reality. 

I’m fortunate to have benefited from some of this recently, there’s always a larger plan that I have no awareness of, and that I might disagree with when I evaluate the small slivers I have access to, but at the end of the day I try to let my faith in my destiny project louder than the concerns I have. And I have come to believe that when one door closes, another one opens.
