“No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or emotional appeal.”

My own gate opens a little slowly sometimes but I’m trying to oil it’s hinges. 😉
Have a good weekend my friend!
Monte Stevens
WD-40 works also. I hope you enjoy the weekend, also.

Thanks, Paul. It is snowing here in Denver. I assume it will be warmer in Charlotte.

Ferguson is right of course and I can’t help but smile when I think of all the energy and effort I’ve expended in my life trying to “open the gate of another” when all I needed to do was keep my own gate wide open.
Nice combination of image and words Monte.

Thanks, Cedric! Keep that gate open!
