Build Your Own Door

by

Last week I wrote about finding another door. Today’s quote from Milton Berle, suggests that you also can be the architect of your own door.

Again, if you are stuck and are unable to find the right door for you, embrace it and go about building you own opportunities. Sometimes we need to change our approach to move forward. Sometimes we need to create our own opportunities and/or become aware of the ones that are there being blocked by the closed door.

So, do you need to build your own door? What will you construct it of?

Maybe you need another door

Do you keep knocking on the same door, but it does not open? Do you keep attempting the same goals? Do you keep trying to fix the same relationship? Do you continually attempt to get that promotion? And nothing.

“Maybe it’s not your door.” My search did not reveal an author for this quote. But even so it a tiny but mighty.

How many times do we get stuck, knocking on the same door repeatedly? We hope that the door will swing open somehow if we just work hard enough at it. And once it does open everything with miraculously change for you.

If you keep beating on the door, you just wear yourself out and get nowhere. If you cannot find the key, you create anxiety trying to find the correct one. Maybe it might be time to realize that door was meant to stay closed.

It you find yourself stuck in front of that same door constantly, try finding a new door that is truly meant for you to go through.

You deserve more. Find a new door that help you get unstuck and that opens to the possibilities that were meant for you, your life.

Check in: Three Good Things

by

Two weeks ago, I put out a challenge to add the practice of three good things to your day.

I also did this practice for those 10 days. A few observations from my daily practice include:

  • Being positive impacts those around you
  • I feel less stress
  • It changed my initial reaction/emotion to situations
  • I smile more
  • I see more positives in my life (vs negative)

My hope is that you experienced some similar things. And my goal is to work on including this practice regularly in my life.

How about you?

Shine Like a Lighthouse

by

“We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to the shining—they just shine.” – Dwight L. Moody

Suggestions for being a lighthouse for others:

  • Thinking of someone? Call, text or email.
  • Smile
  • Donate money to a favorite charity
  • Donate time to a local charity (using CDC guidelines)
  • Show appreciation for someone (again, call, text, email)
  • Send a care package
  • Run an errand for someone (again, using the appropriate guidelines)

There are many other ways to be a lighthouse. These are just a few ideas. What are your ideas? What have you done to shine a light in this storm?
