Opening a better door.
It's tempting to look for a smaller, less scary, more realistic door to open when another one closes for us.
Instead, we can choose to look for a better door, one that requires us to be more courageous, to raise our hand and volunteer, to lead.
Interestingly, there's always less crowd in front of the latter.
And, we don't have to wait for the current door to close to look for a better one.
