Just wanted to share this as I've seen it a number of times but I always find it helpful. There’s A Hole In My Sidewalk By: Portia Nelson   AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS               CHAPTER ONE I walk down the street.             There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.             I fall in.             I am lost….I am helpless.                         It isn’t my fault. It takes forever to find my way out.               CHAPTER TWO I walk down the same street.             There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.             I pretend I don’t see it.             I fall in again.

It still takes a long time to get out.               CHAPTER THREE I walk down the same street.             There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.             I see it there.             I still fall in…it’s a habit…but,                         My eyes are open.                         I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.               CHAPTER FOUR I walk down the same street.             There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.             I walk around it.               CHAPTER FIVE I walk down another street.
