Build a Door?

If opportunity doesn’t knock – build a door. ~ Milton Berle

Milton Berle was okay as an actor and comedian.
And I have to admire his resourcefulness,
his refusal to give up. But good advice
in the Rooms of Recovery suggests
you ask God to make the better choice
more appealing, the weaker choice
to fade from mind. Other options include

• Calm down your mind.
• Keep an open mind.
• Keep your mind and eyes open to the world around you. …
• Keep your mind open, at all times, being present in every situation.
• Expect to find inspiration.
• Be observant.
• If you meditate regularly, inspiration will be easier to find.

Maybe we should carefully consider
whether a door is necessary.
