I was coming into my apartment building the other day and I decided to go through the revolving door. It’s interesting to me that this is usually my last choice of ways to enter my building. There is an unlocked door to the left, a locked door to the right that opens with the quick tap of a fob, and then there is this unwieldy revolving door in the center. I guess it’s my last choice because it can takes the most amount of work—or not.

What do I mean? When someone enters into a revolving door, it takes so much energy and gusto to get the door started, but once it’s started, and especially so if someone is already in it, it’s as if you are being whipped through the door with the speed and efficiency of a factory assembly line. It’s the “other people” that make the revolving door the way to go. [And that’s why, gentlemen, it’s proper etiquette for you to enter a revolving door first if, in fact, it’s not moving. If it’s already moving, you would enter the section behind her and push to keep the door moving. But you already knew that, didn’t you?] 

What does the revolving door have to do with you and me? Sometimes it’s just that little bit of help that we need to get things moving, right? If you could have just a little bit of help right now to get the ball rolling, what would it be? Who could provide this much needed push? Can you call them and ask? How about a quick email? The revolving door gets exponentially easier with a little help, so why don’t we take this lesson and apply it to our own life? We are making it harder on ourselves! Make the call! Send the email. Why would you not? 

Let’s GO! WE GOT THIS!
