Building Doors

Hello! I hope your day is going well. I know I missed last week in sharing a quote from my door, so I will post two this week. This is one of my favorite quotes and also one that challenges me.

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

“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” Milton Berle

I’m sure most of us have heard this quote before about how we have to make our own destinies/success/opportunities/etc. because opportunities aren’t just handed to us; they are a result of our own tenacity. Sometimes, I think that is true, and I do believe in hard work in order to achieve my goals. But we all know (or hopefully we do) that not everyone gets an equal shot at opportunities or door building or luck. Lots of opportunities depend on luck, just being in the right place at the right time or having the right connections.

So I use this quote to remind me to not wait for lucky breaks to come my way, but to be actively engaged in working towards the goals I have for myself. It also reminds me that I need to keep working to help create a world where everyone has the opportunity to build their own door to achieve their goals and dreams.

So what door are you building and what goals are you accomplishing? I hope you are moving forward in achieving your dreams and you are helping others along the way. I also hope you have a lovely day! 🙂
