#280: Getting beyond stuck

Are you feeling stuck? Life has a habit of doing that to us.

Don’t see being stuck as a failure. Being stuck is often a necessary phase to trigger something new. It’s a way of getting your attention, a way of waking you up.

These wake up moments I call nonsense moments because they tend to get your attention away from nonsense and back to what has meaning for you.

Think about a recent nonsense moment - the one that got your full attention. Was it a positive event, something that almost happened, that made you think and react in time? These events tend to shock, but not hurt. Or was it a negative event, one that actually happened and did hurt, physically or emotionally?

If you can interpret your ‘stuckness’ as a positive nonsense moment, one that makes you think and see differently, one that can wake you up, then you are already moving beyond stuck.
