Have any doors ever been slammed in your face? This was a question someone recently asked me. I’ve had an eclectic professional career and have taken a lot of risks. I’ve said yes to opportunities and dreams that seemed sometimes unconventional or unlikely.

While I’m sure there have been opportunities that have passed me by what really struck me was I haven’t dwelled on the closed doors. I have accepted the noes and moved toward the yeses.

How can you see failures in your life as opportunities rather than set backs?
