I don't know who wrote this, but I wanted to share it with you all. To me it's about being aware, aware of ourselves, our habits, and our environments. It's about recognizing our own part in our mess, accepting responsibility for it... and doing something positive to change our lives.
I have found my change to not be so difficult, no more complicated than walking in another direction or down a different street. Often the "new direction" is exactly the way my heart wanted to go for all those years when I was not man enough to follow it. The real difficulty was in admitting that my excuses were always poor, that I was never a victim of circumstances, that there had always been a better "street" to travel, I had known about it and had chosen chaos mistead?.
Where there is growth, there is pain.

I walk down a street.
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I don't even know it's there.
I fall in.
I am lost, helpless.
But it's not my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
The next day I walk down the same street.
There's a deep hole in sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe this happened again.
But it isn't my fault.
It takes forever to remember the way out.
The following day I walk down the same street.
There's that deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it! I know it's coming!
And I fall in again; it's just what I do.
But my eyes are wide open.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
The next day I walk down the same street.
There's the deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
On the 5th, and last day, I walk down a different street.

I also like the line you wrote about the new direction is the way your heart always wanted to go.
