Because they are not sitting across the table from me every night (and because they left for college before I was done imparting my knowledge), here are the nightly bits of wisdom you received at the dinner table.

Fingertips

It is not an exaggeration to say that the world is at your fingertips.  It is equally important to realize that the world that is at the end of someone else's fingertips, does not have a damn thing to do what is at the end of yours.

Today and every day this week there are going to be a dozen doors that you can walk through because of who you are and this time & place in your life.  Make no mistake, it is nice to have the occasional door opened for you to make life easier or gain entry into a desired place.  The real truth is that people open doors because you have given them a glimpse of strength that you have that reminds them what is best in them.

The most amazing things in your life happen when you elect to walk through a door based on who and what you are. You will elect to walk through more doors when you begin to recognize the strengths and gifts you posses.  This creates the need and courage to open these doors.  There are turds behind some of these doors, don't let that dissuade you.  That is life, never elevate a turd to icon status.  Treat it like shit and move on.

It sucks ass to watch other people open doors, it creates doubt and fear in you.  They don't have more (fill in the blank) than you, they just opened the door. 

Approach every day with a sense of wonder and expectation and look for those doors.   I see them every day and for everyone I see there are 10 times that number that I am not seeing.

 If you are having a bunch of days that suck you just are not seeing all the possibility.  Open a door ,  

Love Dad
