Build A Door

 

The picture says:

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.  -- Milton Berle

*********************************

Many people think that they need to wait for something to happen to them before they can make a change... whether it is about work, home life, or taking a risk.  As Milton Berle says, sometimes you need to build the door to create the opportunity.  

We are not educated as we grow up to look to creating our own thing.  We are taught always to be inside the box.  As we look around, the box is broken and maybe even crushed.  We need to do new things to give ourselves and the next generations a new objective.  

Many of us remember jobs, for example, that no longer exist and technology that is gone that was once state of the art.  As we grow and get creative, we can invent new ways of being.

Just Your Life

What is this? This is just your life. So you do your part, and the rest is clear. It is clear because there has never been anything lacking, despite any beliefs you might have, despite any ideas you might have. There has never been anything lacking. - Elihu Genmyo Smith, "Do Your Best"

 

I really think that this quote says all there is to say about life.

What is Strength?

 The poster says:

A strong person is not the one who doesn’t cry.  A strong person is one who is quiet and sheds tears for a moment, and then picks up her sword and fights again.

*************************************************

Finding that place of strength, courage, and compassion is the lifetime journey for all of us.  Most will never achieve it because there is so much that gets in the way.  If we find strength, often our courage will fail us.  If we find courage and strength, we can become bullies because our compassion is lacking.

The learning journeys that we are all on are so amazing.  The best learning, for me, happens when I can stand back from a situation and see what the bigger story is.  I ask my  Eagle guide to help me stand back and see the facts, and to help me ignore the emotions and story that are being played out.  It is so hard for us to “stay out” of the story.
