Ok Peeps, time to get your deep thinking caps on!!
I heard Wayne Dyer tell the story of how Portia Nelson wrote her famous autobiography poem called, “Autobiography in Five Short Chapters”
Portia attended a seminar where they gave everyone a 3×5 index card and asked them to write their autobiography in 5 chapters. They gave them a small card so they wouldn’t get long winded and write a bunch of unnecessary stuff. This poem is included in her book titled, “There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk: The Romance of Self-Discovery.”.
Below is what Portia wrote:
I
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 me forever to find a way out.
II
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 a long time to get out.
III
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.
IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
V
I walk down another street.

See, it’s pretty deep, but very profound in my opinion. To read more about Portia Nelson you can visit her Wikipedia page at Portia Nelson

We hear it all the time about how we are living the life we have today because of the thoughts we had yesterday. I absolutely agree with that statement because I’m living proof.
