The Door of Opportunity

By the middle of January most of us are well on our way accomplishing our New Year’s resolution. Or, we have already decided they just weren’t worth the effort.  Whether you are in the first category and looking for one more goal or feeling down that you didn’t keep a commitment, I have an effortless one for you this year.
 
It is simply: Open the door of opportunity for someone.

I imagine each one of you reading this can think back to at least one individual that gave you a chance, offered you a break – believed in you when no one else did. For many, that one vote of confidence was all it took to begin your journey to greatness.

Some of us may have had several doors opened over our life time…by teachers, friends, supervisors, neighbors or family members…they saw something we didn’t see. They sensed our ability to do more, understood that we had it in us even when we may have been at our darkest hour.

Today I encourage you to open the door of opportunity for someone.  This year find at least one person that can use the inspiration to be more - needs a little help to advance to the next place in their life.

Once you do, stand back and let them walk through. For as great as the deed it is to open the door, it is up to them to go through.
