1) I walk down the
street.
There is a
deep hole in the pavement.
I fall in.
I am lost… I
am hopeless.
It isn’t my
fault.
It takes
forever to find a way out.
2) I walk down the
same street.
There is a
deep hole in the pavement.
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.
3) I walk down the
same street.
There is a
deep hole in the pavement.
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.
4) I walk down the
same street.
There is a
deep hole in the pavement.
I walk around
it.
5) I walk down
another street.

Are you fed up living on automatic pilot repeating cycles of suffering? Do you seek to go beyond your automatic behaviours but struggle to know how? Do you have a niggling feeling that there is more of you yet to be realised? Tried talking to friends but without success? Is now the time to seek professional help?
