Becoming Journey

My Life Story. Yours too?

I'm reading this great book called "Standing at the Crossroads Next Steps for High-Achieving Women." Amazon suggested I might like it and yet again they were right. (Jeff Bezos, are you reading my diary? oh that's right, yes you are.) I found quite a gem in this book, it's an autobiography of sorts... it's by Portia Nelson. Chapter 5 was a total revelation for me - can't wait 'til I get to that part of my story!

Chapter 1
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in. I m lost... I am helpless. It's not my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter 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.

Chapter 3
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it's 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.

Chapter 4
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter 5
I walk down another street.
