What is stuck?


Sometimes we don’t recognize that we feel stuck. That sentiment may take other forms, and sound like:

  • Is this it?  Is this all there is to my life?

  • Isn’t there supposed to be more ____?

  • I feel dissatisfied.

  • I feel disappointed.

  • I feel unfulfilled.

  • What is my actual purpose in life?

  • I thought I would be happier.

  • Why don’t I feel happier?

  • I know I’m not happy where I am, but I don't know where I want to be.

  • I am exhausted and burnt out.

  • When do I get to do what I want to do?

  • I can’t even contemplate a change because so many people depend on me.

  • My friends / family / colleagues would be disappointed / angry / judgmental if I made a change.

  • How do I even go about changing my life?

  • What if I make the wrong choice?

There is always a way out of stuck.

Before making any change, you need to recognize where you are. Only then can you decide where you want to go.
