Why Does It Sting So Much When Doors Close?

Today, while I was sorting laundry, I kept thinking about how often life hands us 'no' instead of 'yes.' It’s funny how those little rejections, just like in sales, can feel so personal.
Sometimes I wonder if people remember how much courage it takes just to knock.
But then, I remind myself: every closed door leads us somewhere else—even if it's just back to the kitchen for a cup of tea and new hope.
