"There's a Hole in My Sidewalk," reflecting 5 chapters of Portia's life 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.”

Your Reflection Corner:

  • Is there anything you do repeatedly that is not working for you?

  • What story do you tell yourself when you repeat that pattern?

  • Honor the old pattern, the old story. Decide to take control of your life, your thoughts, your actions, and your words. Choose to change for the better.

  • Tell a new story, starting with the important things in your life (love, core values, mission, etc.).

  • Take a different action from a new perspective, a new story.
