Hinges: You have the Choice

Hinges…they come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  They open and close on one axis.  Back and forth…back and forth…they go when they open or close.  Some of them do not always rotate around to meet the other side, so you can put them on wrong! (I’ve learned)
They can be put on with the axis going vertical or horizontal.  On occasion, one may put it on a totally different angle.  They allow big doors to open and small doors to open.  Some of them are very long (piano hinge) where some are very short.
Some are for the outdoors where some are just for the indoors.  Most all hinges that are purchased are metal.  However, I would bet that you can create a wood one if you’d like – and they probably did years ago.
Hinges are the found in so many places.  After writing a few minutes, I decided to look up “history of hinges” in Google and found the Wikipedia site, click here. The site was quite fascinating.  Lots of hinges were mentioned!  Most I didn’t know by their name.  That brings us to this week’s quote…
Choices are the hinges of destiny.  ~ Edwin Markham
Each choice you make in life will open or close something.  That “something” could be a job opportunity, a relationship, a chance at salvation, or an opportunity for something better or worse.
You make the choice on what to eat and how much to eat.  You make the choice of what direction to take, literally and figuratively.  You make the choice of what to say.  All these will have an effect on “destiny”. They will create a good moment or a bad one.
How will your choices affect today?  How will they affect tomorrow…next week…next month…next year?
How will your choices affect you? Your spouse? Your children? Your family? Your friends? Your business?  Your coworkers?
Lots to think about when we make choices!  Let your choices be as positive as possible so that the way they will rotate will positively affect destiny!
