I've been talking about this a lot on my calls lately.
That's right. Doors.
Like that door you keep trying so hard to open?
You know, the one you keep pounding on that STILL won't open, no matter what you do.
Well, what's behind it isn't yours!
Go knock on another door. And another. Don't keep wasting your time.
If it's not opening, it's not a sign to try harder, to be more, to do more, to make it the mountain you choose to die on out of principle.
It's not meant to be!
The one that opens? Fling it open with arms wide open, Girl.
THAT'S the one for you!
Love,
Jane
I know someone needed this today. Let me know in the comments if it was you!
Jacki says
I needed to hear this .
Jane says
So glad it helped, Jacki!
Linda ONeil says
Thank you kindly for your help! Really needed to hear this today. Thank you!😊
Jane says
Anytime, Linda. So glad the timing came through for you!
Ncengani says
Yes this is me 🖐️
Valerie says
I moved to move in with my boyfriend. Four months later, I’m stuck in his hometown by myself. He kept looking for holes in my stories and him saying, “that’s not what I heard” about a past relationship that ended 10 years ago. One day, he told me he had contacted my ex husband - a man I have not seen in 10 years. I do not have children with my ex but I did have to take out a restraining order against him because it ended in domestic violence. When he told me that, I made him leave. Right then. Now a month or two later, I’m wondering did I overreact? I’m sad, lonely, and scared. I now own a home without a job locally. I travel for work every week while leaving my house unattended. Now my college age kids have no place to call home. I’ve really screwed up everything!
Jane says
My heart goes out to you, Valerie. I hear these words from women all day, every day. You're not alone here! These decisions we make reflect our best decisions at the time we make them - obviously, right?! - so try not to be so hard on yourself. Yes, it's sad and yes, now with hind sight you can see the full picture, but you couldn't see this then, so focus on what you can do NOW! Much love to you.
Donna says
Yes. I needed this. Been in love with someone for the past 30 years. Been in and out of touch with him. Recently reconnected but it’s not to be. I just need to get it through my thick head. Thank you
Jane says
Don't be so hard on yourself, Donna. The inclination to 'just love him more!' runs deep!
Coll says
My ex kept texting me many one word texts and DOOR was on his list.. I guess I wouldn’t answer the door for a year he finally gave up !!! Lmao !!!
Jane says
Smart woman you are, Coll!
Karen says
Yes I truly needed to read this today! I recently broke up with my boyfriend whom I believe wasn’t right for me. But I keep wanting to reach out to him and not let go with the belief that if I tried harder or we do things differently it would work.
I need to move on and let go.
Jane says
'If I tried harder, if we do things differently', but Karen, where's he in this? Isn't it really all you, sweet soul?
Miry says
Yes, that door that doesn't want to open...even after 2 years. Just had the worst month with my boyfriend and now it's over...on my birthday weekend😥 but yes, closed door, brick wall that I kept trying to break through...I'm tired and disappointed, but somehow relieved. Thank for your continues support
Jane says
Anytime, Miry. You know I've got enough hope for all of us over here! ❤
Becca says
I soooo needed this today. Thank you!
Jane says
You're so welcome, Becca!
Jeanne says
I keep opening the door on a relationship that has nothing to do with me. I miss and love him so much they've been together off and on for 8 years! And he won't do nothing to help himself to help us. God why is it so hard to shut that door. I will always be his friend
Jane says
It's right there, Jeanne. You answered it - because you'll always be his friend!
Vee says
I needed that today!
Jane says
So glad, Vee!
Rebecca says
Thank You. I needed to hear this today. I’ve been knocking on a door for 3 months, and it’s not opening. It’s time to let go and move on, even though it hurts.
Vee says
Right there with ya! I got this unsolicited email this morning that said, "It is time to cut the cord that is draining all your energy." I cut the cord and stopped banging on the door.
Jane says
It hurts because of you and your capacity to care, Rebecca. Not because of him!
Priscilla Armendariz says
This! I so needed this!
Cut to me already knocking on new doors this morning lol
Jane says
Scene and right there with you, Priscilla! ❤
Priscilla says
❤
Cheryl says
Wow! How I love this message. It is to the point, it is clear, and it identifies for us what we need to do when someone or something is not for us in just a simplistic way. We are at the beginning of a new year and now is a great time to renew our way of thinking and to press forward to all the great experiences that wait ahead; leaving behind negative energy and unproductive mindsets, situations, and relationships in the past where they belong. Thank you for sharing!
Jane says
You got it, Cheryl. Right there with you!
Gorete says
Hi yes I did . Your so right I can’t keep trying to come in when he won’t let me . I need to go
Jane says
No you sure can't, Gorete. We're not martyrs anymore. Got a whole lotta life out there to live right where you are!
Laura says
I have dated a man for almost 5 years and it has gone nowhere. He is anti social and a loner. He’s not mean and has many good points but he is unhappy with me and me with him. He wants to live in limbo and never really make concrete plans to commit to the future. It’s really sad.
Jane says
What would happy look like, Laura?
