The Hinges Of Life

  When you look at your family what do you think the biggest competition is? Just like in business your family has all sorts of competition out there. It may be other organizations that are trying to chip away at your family values or some other activity that is vying for your time and taking you away from your family. Sometimes this competition might seem overwhelming and there is nothing we can do to win.

  When those times come I want you to go to your closet. Yes, your closet! I know what you are thinking, maybe I should just pick out those comfy close and just climb back into bed. We all know that comfy closes and climbing back into bed can solve some things but not this.

  The reason I want you to go to your closet is because I want you to look at your closet doors. There is something very important on this door and most doors. Those are the small hinges that are responsible for moving that door. Think of most any door no matter how big or how heavy most are moved by those little hinges.

  The same is true to our doors of life. Whether we are trying to shut something out or open the door to new opportunity, that door is not moving without those small hinges. Our hinges in live are those small daily actions we call habits or in the business world we call them processes.

  If you see a door that needs to be closed or want to open you or your family to a new opportunity to don’t focus on the door look at the hinges or your little daily habits and work on those each day. The best part about your hinges of life they are always things that are within your control. Take hold of those little hinges within your control by your daily effort and remember that all those big doors in your way will be moved on the hinges you make.
