Autobiography in Five Short Chapters
i. I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the footpath. I fall in. I am lost...I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. ii. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the footpath. 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 may fault. It still takes a long time to get out. iii. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the footpath. I see it is there. I still fall in...it's a habit. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. iv. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the footpath. I walk around it. v. I walk down another street. by Portia Nelson

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT You have the right to be the judge of what you do and what you think. You have the right to offer no reasons and excuses for your behaviour. You have the right not to be responsible for finding solutions to other people's problems. You have the right to change your mind. You have the right to make mistakes. You have the right to say, "I don't know." You have the right to make your own decisions. You have the right to say, "I don't mind." You have the right to say, "no", without feeling guilty.
