## Resource

When a door shuts, we initially ask ourselves, “What went wrong?”We question ourselves and wonder what could have been done differently to keep the door open. However, you should be grateful that the door closed. If that door hadn't closed, you may have settled for less than you deserve and tolerated behavior that doesn’t align with who you’re meant to become. What seemed like punishment was actually protection in disguise. It didn't close to punish you, it closed to prevent you from staying in a space that didn't understand your value.
