Join Famous and LaKisha as they talk about the powerful metaphor and insights of the poem There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk by Portia Nelson. This profound work captures the journey of self-awareness, growth, and transformation that resonates deeply in both personal and professional contexts. By Portia Nelson Chapter 1I 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 2I 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 3I walk down the same street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.I see it is there.I still fall in... it’s a habit... but,my eyes are open.I know where I am.It is my fault.I get out immediately. Chapter 4I walk down the same street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.I walk around it. Chapter 5I walk down another street.
