I found this in a book I was perusing yesterday. Like it. Here's to the other street.
Portia Nelson
CH 1
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.
CH 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 this same place. But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
CH3
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.
CH 4
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
CH 5
I walk down another street.
The winds of grace are always blowing, but you have to raise the sail.
- Ramakrishna
Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
On...
