Day 2 When Doors Bang in Your Face

December 2 Dawn

Day 2 of Closing Doors – Invent 

When you are working on a goal, your plan and taking massive action and then all of sudden *SLAM* you hit a brick wall and doors are banging in your face from all sides.  You have choices: you can continue to bang solely on doors or you can find if there is a window to break through, a trap door to go under, a chimney to climb up…  

The following is an extract from Milton Eriksons (Hypnotherapist)  book ‘My Voice Will Go You’  

“I asked a student, ‘How do you get from this room to that room?’  He answered, ‘First you stand up then take a step…’

I stopped him and said, name all the possible ways you can get from this room into that room.’ 

He said. ‘You can go by running, by walking: you can go by jumping; you can go by hopping, by somersaulting.  You can go out that door, go outside the house, come in another door and into that room.  Or you could climb out a window if you want to…’ 

I said, ‘If you want to get into that room from this room, I would go out of that door, take a taxi to the airport, buy a ticket to Chicago, New York, London, Rome, Athens, Hong Kong, Honolulu, San Francisco, Edinburgh, Dallas, Grand Canyon, come back by limousine and go in the back yard and then through the back gate into the back door and into that room.’ 

In 2011 Close the Door on ‘NOT Seeing BIG, BIGGER, BIGGEST Pictures’…if there is one way, there will be a THOUSAND Ways to breakthrough!
