"There's no fence in this world which a porta can't be opened, but I was looking for one"

Seems like this quote is talking about life's endless possibilities and how, despite that, we sometimes still seek barriers that don’t actually exist. The core of it? Anything can be achieved or overcome if you find the right way to approach it, but sometimes we trick ourselves into believing that there are insurmountable obstacles.

Let's give it some context. Imagine someone who's just hit a major roadblock. They're feeling stuck, defeated, and overwhelmed. Perhaps this was said by someone who's been through that same experience, trying to remind themselves (and us) that these barriers are often figments of our imagination. They’re not real; we just need to find the right way through.

Think about the Wright brothers. They wanted to fly—something that seemed impossible at the time. The world didn't have a "fence" against human flight; the gate was there all along, waiting to be discovered. They didn't look for barriers. Instead, they found the door marked "innovation" and pushed it open.

So, how can you apply this wisdom in your life? Next time you face a challenge that seems insurmountable, take a step back. Look for the door. It might be hidden, but it's there. Maybe it’s a different approach, a new skill, or even asking for help. Don’t convince yourself there’s no way forward just because the path isn’t immediately clear.

Now, picture this: you've always wanted to start your own business, but every time you think about it, doubts flood your mind. “I don’t have the funds,” “I’m not experienced enough,” “What if I fail?” These are your fences. But what if instead of seeing these as barriers, you look for the doors? Maybe you can start small, perhaps even from your garage, like many successful entrepreneurs did. Seek out knowledge from mentors, take online courses, or partner with someone who complements your skills. There’s always a way forward if you’re willing to look for it.

Think of Sarah, a friend of mine. She always dreamed of becoming a chef and opening a restaurant. But she didn’t have the money or the formal training. Instead of seeing these as obstacles, she found other doors. She started by hosting small dinner parties, then moved on to catering. Eventually, she saved enough to take cooking classes and, over time, her little side hustle grew. Today, she owns a thriving restaurant. Looking back, the fences she thought were there were actually just doors waiting to be opened.

In your own journey, whenever you hit a roadblock, remember this: there’s no fence in this world that a door can’t be opened. Sometimes, all it takes is a bit of creativity, a shift in perspective, and the courage to push through.

So next time you feel boxed in, take a deep breath. Stop looking for obstacles that aren’t really there. Instead, search for the doors, the opportunities, the hidden paths. They’re there—you just have to be willing to find them.
