How many times in your life have you done something over and over again and said to yourself, "I have done this before." ?
I am told that we repeat doing these things until we have learned from them. Needless to say some of us have repeated these lessons over and over again until, yes, one day we learn them.
A few years ago the following had been emailed to many people. I myself have printed it out and put it in a frame and then given it to many people as gifts.
So, Here - I am giving this to you. Please feel free to print it out and then keep it near till you no longer need it. Give it as a gift - and enjoy.
The Hole
1.
I walk down the street.
There is a 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.
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 am in the same place.
It isn’t all my fault.
Still, It takes a long time to get out.
3.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I fall in....it is a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
4.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
5.
I walk down a different street.
Laugh if you will but think about it - does it not make sense? Enjoy it for yourself and give it as gifts to people you care about.
