So a spring must have snapped in the doorknob and I am now fully stuck in my bedroom. It is a weird antique knob. So umm does anyone have ideas? (Small mercy, my kids are on the other side of door and happily fetching me snacks while the grownups brainstorm).

Those suggesting I just disassemble the latch, it is fully inside the door (which is over 100 years old and original to the house). That square hole still turns. It just isn’t connected to whatever opens the latch.

(For those concerned, my husband is home and watching kids.)

Thanks to an amazing friend who saw this tweet, I now have a contractor who specializes in old houses on site. He also cannot open it. But is trying to talk me through disassembling the hinges. I cannot do it. This is now fully humiliating.

They are now trying to rescue me via ladder. Our neighbors are watching. My husband cannot stop laughing.

MARRIED OR NOT, YOU SHOULD READ THIS ...

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. 1/2

But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, 2/3

you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!
3/4

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger.
4/5

I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release.

POSITIVE MENTALITY IN A NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT (THREAD)

First, know that WE are the captains of our ships.

All that you allow to mentally affect you, is because you allow it so.

You, just as easily, can take away the negative drain of outside circumstances by ‘flicking a switch’ within your mind.

It is imperative that you do not allow to get inside your head:

- Other people’s self-limiting beliefs
- Others’ opinions of you or your work

- Any thought that does not serve you or those around you in a helpful way

They are irrelevant, they are changing and most of all they are outside of your control.

Trying to control that which you have no directive over is literally impossible and a foolish man’s game.

All of man’s suffering comes from attempting to control that which is out of his hands

If you re within a negative environment

Start to visualise the outside circumstances as a blessing; -This environment is a test from the universe to give me to the tools of mental resilience

This way you are motivated and excited to test yourself against the waves of negativity - it becomes an enjoyable challenge and one that if endured will leave you with a stronger mindset than if you’d just had complete support your whole life
