Front doors have rarely served me well or granted me access to the places that I really hoped to go.

I can’t quite determine if it is the door’s authoritative stance, the fact that is boldly rooted in my path or something else that gets on my nerves, but it always seems that I am searching for another, any other way to get to where I want to go.

Don’t get me wrong, front doors are beautiful; they are the focal point of many places, often having the ability to welcome you into a place of warmth and friendliness with a simple creak of the hinges and turning of the handle.

However, they also remind me of my Grandmother’s living room.  They are very nice to look at, but not exactly user friendly.  I remember being slightly afraid as a child of breaking something in my grandmother’s living room- everything looked so priceless and fragile.  For me, front doors have the same basic idea.  They are gorgeous, and yet just a little bit formidable.  It’s a frustrating mixture that draws you in and yet keeps you at arms-length at the same time.

Thankfully, the front door isn’t the only way to get inside.  There are back doors, side doors, windows, heck even chimneys that can grant you a way to your desires when the front door seems less than welcoming.

So I say plunder the different avenues of entrance.  I have always found my way, even when things look hard and unforgiving, there is always a way around, over and through the obstacles in your path.

I believe 100% there is always a way…. we must be creative, courageous, and a little crazy to find it!

Here are The 3 Simple Steps you will need to find your own, best path to success –

 

• If the front door is unyielding or you’re met with resistance and a stiff upper lip- don’t despair!  Remember there are always other ways.  Pick a direction, north south, east or west, and find another way in.  From the garage door to the window, from the back door to the cellar- there is always a way in.
• Remember that there is an adventure in finding your own path, your own answer- don’t hesitate in your step, and go for it!  If one path doesn’t work, there are many more to try.  Never give up!
• Repeat steps 1 and 2 as necessary.

Remember, there is always a way- the trick is to be creative, crazy and courageous enough to discover what it is!
