Why This One Piece of Advice is the Worst Ever

And why you should never pay attention to it

If you’ve read any of my stuff (surely you have) you know that I’m a wee bit of a pitbull. When I want something, I persist, to no end, no matter what. I’m a balls to the walls kinda girl. I push til I can’t push anymore. I blaze trails.

And none of that is because I’m brave and courageous. Nope. It’s because I’m a persistent little motherfucker.

There’s a quote that goes something like this:

If the door doesn’t open, it’s not your door. (who fucking wrote this anyway?? ugh!!)

I cringe when I read this. I wish people would stop posting and sharing it. This quote speaks of defeat and the eff word that I hate: “failure”.

This quote will make people stop and think ‘right, it’s not my door, I’ll carry on my merry way now’.

I want to stop them and shake them. Grab them by the shoulders and yell at them “kick the fucking door down!! Find out what’s on the other side. Don’t be such a wimp ass for God sake!!”

People are too quick to take no for an answer and then just keep walking aimlessly looking for the next door in hopes that that one opens.
