I'm sure you'll gain the same awareness I did the first time I read it.
There's a hole in my 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.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes me 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.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
I walk down another street.” ~Portia Nelson
We have all been there.
Reflect on it.
Best Wishes.
