Optical illusions are awesome, not only for what they reveal to us from a visual standpoint but for what they can allegedly tell us about ourselves. This one will let you know if you’re ready for any big challenges in life.

While no one can predict the future, it’s still fun to play along!

What this illusion does is provide you with a little bit of insight into your personal mindset. Of course, viewers are already in the process of debating the assertions that are being made here, as you would expect. The image was initially provided to the Bright Side YouTube channel. Now, you will have your chance to see what’s what.

Take a closer look at the image and be honest with yourself about what is jumping out at you.

“Does it look like an open door to you?” asked the narrator of the video. “Then you’re ready for big life challenges,” he continues.

That makes sense to us but it is still interesting to consider. The video even offers advice for those who are currently facing these changes.

“Embrace them,” the narrator says. “It’s exciting to try new things.” That is true! What about those of us who did not see an open door? What does our future hold? “If it’s more of a musical note to you, you feel you have something important to share with the world,” the narrator elaborates. It is a feeling that we should all be taking very seriously.

“Never miss a chance to express yourself,” the narrator guides. It is rare that you get an optical illusion that comes with a side of life advice but here we are.

The comments are full of good-natured debate, as some agree with the illusion’s findings and others do not. That is par for the course when it comes to these sorts of things.

Those who think that the illusions are spot on are more likely to use the findings to their advantage, of course. Meanwhile, the dissenters want everyone to know that they do not agree. It’s a funny conversation to witness, no matter what side you may be on.
