Autobiography in Five Short Chapters by Portia Nelson

10/8/2024

 
Picture
Change is never easy.
It can take time which requires patience. You need to be ready for something to change.

The first step is self-awareness.  Raise your awareness to what exactly you wish to change.
Is it a bad habit? Has a behaviour pattern you developed become your default mode (now could be considered as a bad habit)?

Observe yourself for a period of time to really get to know what exactly it is you want to change.


This poem sums the process of change up beautifully:
 
 
Chapter One

I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in
I am lost ….  am hopeless
It is not my fault
It takes forever to find a way out
 
Chapter Two
 
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I pretend I do not see it
I fall in again
I cannot believe I am in the same place
But it is not my fault
It still takes a long time to get out
 
Chapter Three
 
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I still see it there
I still fall in….it is a habit
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault
I get out immediately
 
Chapter Four
 
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it.
 
Chapter Five
I walk down another street
