Hole in the Sidewalk by Portia Nelson
 |
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 a way out. |

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. I can’t believe I am in the same place.... It still takes a long time to get out. |

I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is 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. |

I walk down the same street again. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. |

I walk down another street....... |
