Sometimes when we feel stuck we tell ourselves and others that we’re doing our best or that we don’t know how to fix things or that nothings working out and perhaps even go into a downward spiral of self pity.
But the truth is, sometimes you feel stuck and you’re not even trying to change things. You’re living your life, hating the way things are and doing nothing about it. Then days, weeks or even months go by and you feel sad that things are still the same.
Life has taught me that you have to be willing to try. You have to be willing to step out of your usual self, to push yourself and take steps to rectify, improve or start over.
It requires effort, time, patience, consistency and commitment. Simply going through the motions of life and hoping for a miracle won’t lead you to the life you want.
