But you must be willing to walk through the first one to get to the other good things God has for you.

Is it to your advantage to switch your choice of doors?

Maintenance is what you have to do just so you can walk out the door knowing that if you go to the market and bump into a guy who once rejected you, you won't have to hide behind a stack of canned food. I don't mean to be too literal about this.
