Help – I fell into a hole

…. but it isn’t my fault……………
========
Recently I was reminded of a story I heard by the great late Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.
He met a lady who, while at an event, was told to write the chapters of her life in 5 chapters.
Stop me if you know this story…..
…..
No?   Great. I will continue
They were only given small cards to write on so it would not get too lenghty.
What follows is the story of her life in 5 chapters
Enjoy

THERE’S A HOLE IN MY SIDEWALK
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

Chapter One
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.
Chapter Two
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that 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 Three
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 … but, 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.
