Ever since I saw the movie “Temple Grandin” starring Claire Danes, “Every door is an opportunity” has been one of my favorite quotes. In this film, Danes plays an autistic woman who is advised by her parents to look at each opportunity as an open door to something new. She eventually begins to see everything that she had thought to be scary as simply a new door through which she could enter and have a new experience. Seeing Danes’ character’s world open up after changing her view about how she looked at the “doors” she was presented with was incredibly inspiring and opened up my eyes to a brand new way to look at things! While trying new things or doing something where you’re unsure about the outcome can be scary! But once you decide to make a decision about something, you’ve already taken the first step!
