When One Door Closes, Another Door Opens
One accountant I know lost his high paying job. He got busy looking for a new job, but he still thought he would never find anything as good as the job he was let go from. After a few more failed jobs, he was convinced that the first job was his dream job, and work would never feel as good as it did back then.

Then, he was hired at a place he would have never considered previously. He took the job because it was the only job available. It was the only door open. Twenty years later, he is still at that job, and it is his dream job. He makes more money, and he loves to go to work each day. And in hindsight, he can see that the first job needed to end so he could find his way to this job. Sometimes when one door closes, we try to reopen it many times throughout our lives.
And sometimes we are successful doing so! For instance, after a job loss even the loss of a job we hate , we may try to keep getting that job back instead of looking for another door that will lead us down a different and possibly better path. Then when we get that job back, things go bad again and soon we are wondering why we even bothered opening the door again. Sometimes you have to nail that door shut behind you and let go of the notion of it ever opening again.
If the situation was negative, abusive, or hurtful in any way, then it is better left shut.
Look for alternatives when one door closes
There are plenty of other doors for you to choose from, and they all offer new experiences for your life. A friend of mine once dated a drug addict. He used her for money and her kindness, and he lied to her all the time. It took a while, but eventually she was able to leave him and move on. One day he showed up at her house begging her to come back to him.
She opened the door back up and let him in, and it took another year of crying, pain, and struggle for her to shut that door again. But, when she did, she nailed it shut.
She ended up finding the perfect guy through another door. When one door closes, take your attention away from it. If you stay focused on the closed door, then you cannot see the new one that has been opened for you. Again, a breakup is a great example of this! We all know what it is like to dwell on a past relationship. We think about that person, what could have been, all the fun we had, and how sad we are that the relationship is over.
In other words, we sit and stare at the closed door thinking about what is on the other side. Unfortunately, that means we are not looking around for other doors. We are too busy wondering if that door can open back up or why it closed in the first place.
The result is that we let a few good people, who are standing behind an open door, slip through our fingers, and their doors end up closing on us before we even noticed they were open. An older man I know shared a story with me relating to this. He had lost his first wife to another man, and all he could focus on was the betrayal. He spent every night looking at her picture, cursing her name, and trying to come up with ways to get back at her. A female co-worker was his sounding board.
She would listen to him whenever he needed to talk. And, she attempted to do things for him to make him feel better.
Get Inspired. Get Motivated.
It turns out she died the night before from a heart attack. Suddenly he realized how much she had meant to him and how good of a partner she would have been for him, and he was then looking at the closed door of his coworker and not the ex who betrayed him. So, stop looking at closed doors because it will force you to miss ones that are open and may be closing soon. You will regret looking at that closed door eventually. The thought of any more closing beyond that just gets depressing for them, and they start to view that particular area of life as non-achievable.

Moreover, some people are not willing to accept that more than two or three doors need to close sometimes in order to find the perfect door. For instance, I know plenty of people who have had a relationship end and stay pretty positive that something better is coming their way. But, when another relationship ends not long after, they start to give up on love and their attitude towards relationships turns negative, which affects their ability to see any potentially awesome people out there.
