Who will you hold the door open for?

Who has held the door open for you?

Whether you realize it or not, there have been countless people that have allowed you to reach this point in your life. Individuals that gave selflessly so that the generations that followed them could benefit from their generosity. These are the individuals that have held the door open for you. Now it’s your turn.

Hopefully, by now you’ve realized that holding the door open is a metaphor for reaching back and helping someone else that is less fortunate or doesn’t have the same access to opportunities as you do.

Holding the door open doesn’t have to mean committing to a life of selfless giving and prioritizing others over yourself, it’s not an all or nothing act. All it means is that you’re conscious and grateful for whatever opportunities you’ve had in your life and that you’re willing to share, you’re willing to say that there’s room here for one more.

So as you go through your day, think about opportunities in your life where you can hold the door for someone that you think can use a helping hand, someone that’s working hard and trying to get their foot in the door but hasn’t been able to do so. Once you get in the habit of holding the door open for others whenever you can, you’ll soon begin to realize and hopefully appreciate just how many people have held the door open for you.
