Helloooo! This is YOUR MORNING SAUCE! Today I’m going to read you one of the shortest stories that had a profound impact on my life. If you’ve heard it, then it must be a sign for you to hear it again. If you haven’t, I can assure you this might hit home in many ways. Here it goes:

Titled: Autobiography in Five Chapters by Portia Nelson

Chapter 1:

I walk down the street.

There is a deep  hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in.

I am lost…I am hopeless.

It isn’t 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’m in the 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 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.

 

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.

 

…….

 

Mmmm. I remember when I first heard this short story recited by the great, Dr. Wayne Dyer over 15 years ago. I had been in a job that was making me ill and was in a relationship that was super toxic. I was repeating the same habits and not sure WHY I was still allowing myself to walk down the same street day after day. This simple short story by Portia Nelson really gave me a birds eye view of my life and provoked an awareness in me to awaken that I really needed in my life. 

 

So my dear friend, as you go through today, ask yourself this: What chapter am I in? Is it time to turn inward and radically change some habits? Then allow yourself to just listen for the answers. They will come. 

 

You are worthy of an amazing life. Believe it and Claim it!
