A closed door, or closed eyes??

This story goes back to a night when I was all alone in my 4 Bedroom flat in Gurgaon. It was around 11 PM at night and I wandered from one room to another without turning on the lights of the passage way...Pitch dark was the night with no trace of any moon light, it was only the memory of the house which was my guiding light..

I bothered not to turn on the lights as I was extremely confident that the image in my mind was very clear and I can steer my way to every corner of my flat with my eyes closed. As I walked through the passage, I reached the room and as I was walking into the room, I suddenly crashed against the door and the door which was closed got open. Luckily it was not latched but just closed, and so the opening of the door was not a very difficult task particularly because I was walking with so much confidence that my bumping into it was enough to get the door wide open...!!

As I tried to assimilate this experience, a parallel from life struck my mind. Life also has a lot of open doors and if you approach them with confidence and with your eyes closed towards them and open towards the target behind the doors, most of the times you end up opening the door... Most of the times, its the sight of the closed door which is enough of a demotivation and we end up not even giving it a perfect try..What if we close our eyes to the closed door and hit it head on to reach the target we want to achieve..?? Wont we stand a better chance ??

Isn't it good to keep our eyes closed when the door in front of us is closed??
