Analogy (Fundamental Guideline for Change)

Scene 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 not my fault.

Scene 2:

I walk down the same street. I fall in the hole again. It still takes a long time to get out. It’s my fault.

Scene 3:

I walk down the same street. I fall in the hole again. It’s becoming a habit. It is definitely my fault. I get out immediately.

Scene 4:

I walk down the same street and see the deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.

Scene 5:

I walk down a different street.
