“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.” – Joseph Campbell.
You may have an idea about how your life should go: who you should be with, where you should live, what kind of career you should have. But Allah may have a different idea for you, and it is His plan that will manifest in your life, not yours.
Be open to Allah’s hand guiding you. Don’t fight it. Allah has something great in store for you, or He would not have created you. Your life has a meaning and purpose.
There is a mission on this earth that only you can accomplish. Many people never realize their destinies and never complete their missions. Will you? If so, then don’t waste your time staring at the closed door. Look around and see the other doors that Allah has opened for you.
