So my colleague almost closed a door on me, while I was still in the doorway.

I decided I would try to see the humor in it and what, if anything I could learn from the experience.

Here are the results of my torture.

Don’t Get Stuck in Repeat

I got slammed in the door because my friend was solely focused on moving onto the next activity, super-focused.

Everyday we go about our activities, like we did the day before, the day before that and all the days before that. And tomorrow will be much of the same.

But it doesn’t have to be.

Keep things fresh, don’t stop thinking about things around you, and for those things that come automatically, question them every once in a while to see if they are doing you any good.

See The Funny Side

Stupid mistakes happen everyday.

That’s just life.

Very few events will lead to tragic consequences, so don’t sweat the small stuff.

It hurts for now, but even in those situations there may be a chance to make a new friend.

Watch Out for Doors

So I was stretching it a little for three ideas.

Just don’t put your fingers in the doorway.

And by the way, I came out unscathed in the end.
