Which chapter of life are you in?
"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.
