thoughts on the news of the day: go ... or no ...

hmmm…..

            How embarrassing!  Susan Boyle was singing “O Holy Night” on The View the other day and stopped midway through the piece.  She just stopped.  It was live television, so the whole ugly thing was viewed nationwide.  Apparently, she lost her voice and simply couldn’t go on singing.

            When is it time to quit?  Perseverance is one thing, but sometimes it is best to cover your losses and move on.  And how do we know when that time is?  When do we continue on faith, and when do we accept the fact that things are just not going to work out quite like we had planned?

            Acceptance is the key.  I think the prayer goes: Accept the things we can, change the things we can, and have the wisdom to know the difference. 

            I say that as long as the door keeps opening, we must continue to walk through it. And when it closes, its time to quit.  The door definitely closed when Susan Boyle lost her voice, so she had no choice but to stop singing.  She humbly accepted the fact that her voice would not cooperate, and she had the wisdom to know it was best to just simply stop, even if it caused her global embarrassment.

            Maybe there’s a door you have been knocking on in your life that simply won’t open.  Maybe its time to stop and move on; and maybe, just maybe, another door will open.

            hmmm…..
