Autobiography In Five Short Chapters

It's like the man who comes to the tree at the
fork in the road and says,

'Which way shall I go, this way or that?'
'Go! Take one way and go!"-

Possibilities are not important.
It is what happens
that actually matters.

Chapter V

Try something
(anything)
else!

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 forever to find a way out.

Chapter I

If you always do,
like you’ve
always done

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 II

You always get

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 III

what
you always got

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter IV

If what you’re
doing isn’t
working for you

I walk down a different street.

Think excitement,
talk excitement;
act out excitement,
and you are bound to become an excited person.

Life will take on a new zest,
deeper interest and greater meaning.

You can think, talk and act yourself
into dullness or into monotony
or into unhappiness.

By the same process you can build up inspiration,
excitement and surging depth of joy.
