My previous blog post, http://wp.me/p1j3tp-4n was on habits. Some say we fall “victim” to habits. But the truth is we’re always in control of our choices. Set yourself up for success. I love “Autobiography in Five Short Chapters” by Portia Nelson. I’m posting below:
Autobiography in five short chapters
by 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 get 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’m in the same place.
But it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
CH 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.
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.
