Autobiography in 5 Short Chapters by Portia Nelson

Chapter 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.

Chapter 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.

Chapter 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.

Chapter IV


I walk down the same street.


There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.


I walk around it.

Chapter V


I walk down another street.

Is it time for you to walk down another street? I have four coaching spots open this month and one of them could be yours. Find out more and get started here.
