Position:Home>Philosophy> If you continue to knock, will the door be opened? What is the value of persever


Question:You ask two questions, they seem similar but when thought about they are different questions.

1. Will all doors open? Probably not, but you can only know this after you have tried all possibilities.

2. What is the value of perseverance? Perseverance is invaluable because we do not know the outcome of our attempts. We do not know all the paths to get to where we want to go. The solutions to many problems require perseverance.

A better question is when do you stop knocking on one door and try a different one. How many times should you knock? For how long should you knock on the same door. There may be no one home.

religions question??

Yes, eventually, but you need to stand in line for several lifetimes.

According to the bible, yes.

It says if you knock, the door will open.

It's true in other things as well. Search and you will find.

Common sense, really.

Perseverance can accomplish many things. Not only can you get things done by persvering, you also learn a lot and have a variety of experiences on your way to accomplshing your goal. Mainly you can learn a lot about yourself. As others have told you, the Bible advises you to persevere and there's that old saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."
If your goal is worth while it's worth pursuing, but there's no guarantee of success. So, maybe the door won't be opened, but how will you know if you don't try and try again?

Only if you have been invited in by its' keeper, who hears your call. (opportunity)

God grant me the perseverence to knock till the door be opened, the humility to be able to give up, and the widsom to know when to do which one.

If at first you don't succeed, try something else.

"So long As There Is Breath In Me,
That Long I Will Persist,
For Now I Know One Of The Greatest Principles Of Success,
If I persist Long Enough I will Win"

Continuing is useless. The Universe isn`t stupid nor deaf.
It is however of prime importance that you open your door. I mean at least unlock the bloody thing to allow the Universe to deliver. It is fine to update your requests as the details change but you also need to check and see if there are contradictory thoughts or beliefs in your data base. All resistance is counter-productive and will hold up your delivery.
Cheers!
