Five Short Chapters on Change
Chapter 1
I walk down a street and there's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. It takes forever to get out. It's my fault.
Chapter 2
I walk down the same street. I fall in the hole again. It still takes a long time to get out. It's not my fault.
Chapter 3
I walk down the same street. I fall in the hole again. It's becoming a habit. It is my fault. I get out immediately.
Chapter 4
I walk down the same street and see the deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.
Chapter 5
I walk down a different street.

Taking a sidewalk would still qualify to be a narrow vision! Taking an alternate path is what would qualify as a good enough change. The inability to do something different. The inability to move out of the rut. The inability to look beyond the obvious and the convenient. This is what hampers progress as well as one's ability to handle change. The difference between taking the sidewalk and taking an alternate path is akin to thinking and lateral thinking!
