Stop vs Go

Have you ever felt like you were totally standing still? That there is so much you should be doing, but it just simply is not happening and you feel there is nothing you can do about it? I feel this way quite often. Maybe the time is not quite right, and maybe I will begin to move forward when the time is right, but that does not change the fact that at the moment, I am standing still. I think my want to go on forward keeps me from realizing that this is not the time to do so. When doors open, they open. When they don't, they don't. That's the way it is, unfortunately. Is that true? Can you not open your own doors? I am not sure, although I would really like to try it. What do you do when the one thing you really want seems to be getting closer all the time, but never close enough? I do not know, but I definitely know that standing still will never get you where you want to go. So the question remains: Is a temporary standstill a good thing when it mean that, eventually, you will get where you are going? Or should you try to open your own doors, even at the risk of the ultimate failure?
