A friend shared this with me today and I found it very apropos to my situation in life.
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters
1.) I walk, down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in
I am lost.... I am hopeless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
2.) 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 a long time to get out.
3.) 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.
4.) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
5.) I walk down another street.
What a powerful autobiography. I am living in this same story, somewhere around chapter 2-3. I really need to get to chapter 4 at least. I know I'll get there, I know I will.
