• Self Discipline

  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 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 dont see it
  I fall in again
  I cant believe Im in the the same place
  But it isnt 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 sidewalk
  I see it is there
  I still fall in…its 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

  I am constantly striving for self improvement (i know, i know, aren’t we all). But lately it is finally starting to feel like i am making progress in some of the areas I have wanted to. I would say i am at 3) in many aspects of my life, and in a lucky few, I may have even reached 4)

  Old habits can be hard to break, but it feels great to do so
