How does life work? One quote and a short autobiography by Portia Nelson might explain it!

“I am astounded at how long it takes to discover...
for the first time, the things I have learned...
over and over again all my life.” 

Portia Nelson

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...
​There's a Hole in my Sidewalk​
My 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 me forever to find a 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. I can't believe I'm in the same place, but it isn't my fault!!  It still takes me a long time to get out."

Chapter Three....

"I walk down the same street.  There is a deep hole in the middle of the sidewalk. I see it there. I still fall in....it is a habit. 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 middle of the sidewalk. I walk around it."

Chapter Five....

"I walk down another street!"
