Emotional Learning

I learn something every day.At times the learning curve means great humility and
then I thank whatever situation brought
about my awakenening.


A short story called ‘The autobiography

I walk down the road


I walk down the road. There is a hole in the road. I do not see the hole. I fall in the hole. It is very deep, and at the bottom where I lay broken, it is dark and cold. I can’t get out.

I walk down the road. There is a hole in the road. I see the hole as I am walking down the road. I fall down the hole. Its familiar and quite cosy. I can’t get out.

I walk down the road. There is a hole in the road. I see the hole as I am walking down the road. I fall down the hole. I want to get out.

I walk down the road. There is a hole in the road. I see the hole as I am walking down the road. I dread falling down the hole. I fall down the hole. And I look up and decide to get out.

I walk down the road. There is a hole in the road. I see the hole as I walk down the road. I think, “oh, ha ha, no, no, I’m not falling for that again!”. I fall down the hole. I start climbing out.

I walk down the road. There is a hole in the road. I see the hole as I walk down the road. I try not to, but I fall in the hole again. I get back out straight away.

I walk down the road. There is a hole in the road. I see the hole as I walk down the road. My foot slides and I fall in the hole again, but I do not hit the bottom. I cling on to the side and get out of the hole.
I walk down Ithe road. There is a hole in the road. I step over the hole. I do not fall into the hole.

I walk down a different road.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Did you make that up M.A.? I fine id interesting and quiet unusual as to how the mind works.

Thank you!

Does anyone here believe she is as smart/wise as she wants to be?

I do not think it's a matter of want. I can confidently say that I am as smart and wise as I need to be, personally and professionally. Then, I seek help, when required, from those who know better in areas where I am lacking.

Mountain Ash, thanks for posting that story!

Chatty, my answer is pretty much identical to Lola's.

Merideth
the post was the first page of my course book in T A counselling training.Written by a person far far wiser than I could ever be..

Once absorbed it is a tool for whole life living..we all have patterns we repeat these patterns.Once we acknowledge them we can choose our path.A counsellor is taught how to recognise these patterns first in herself then in any client.
It is hard not to think like this once discovered.even movies books the pattern can be spotted.

I guess Lola and Meredith, I'd have to say ditto to your answers.

I think we can learn something new almost everyday, some good, some bad, but at least we're still open to learning.
