Take the open Door

The brass ring comes around only a few times in life. Those are the open doors you go through without knowing what will happen. This is challenging because you are conciously impacting your life and have no idea what the next day will be like.

I have met great people who have been a blast purely by accident. Anne in Muncie, IN, Ryan Eames from London, Dan Brunet from MI, Mario Conway at a Church meeting in Colorado, Paul in Chicago, John in Boston and Grand Rapids, Mary Kate and Chris in Denver, Danton Fitch in Moscow, Ron Nester in Lafayette, IN, Brian Blood in Geneva, and so it goes. Carefully watch the next person you meet. They may be a friend for life. Take the blind path, the road less traveled, the adventurous way....what ever but "Stir it up." Feel the fear and to it anyway.

Throw your keyboard into your monitor, buy some warm clothes and climb a mountain. Take up mountain biking at age 61 and get into shape. Oh how we protect ourselves from the unknown.

  1. Hey Dad, I am looking for a brass ring now. I think I may be looking too hard and passing up brass rings everyday. I will work on being more open.
