on Getting Stuck
GETTING STUCK IS A PROCESS THAT ALWAYS STARTS WITH A BAD, POOR, OR ILL-ADVISED DECISION...
...we didn't do the NEXT RIGHT THING
...we ignored our PERSONAL CREDO, a/o CORE VALUES...
...we took the EASIER, SOFTER PATH because it was easier and softer...
Then, before we realize it, we're moving down a very different path than the one we originally set off on...
ONCE THE 'GETTING STUCK' PROCESS STARTS AND GAINS MOMENTUM, IT'S VERY HARD TO SLOW IT DOWN OR STOP IT...
...as it starts to dawn on us that we may be lost...
...we naturally slow down to look around for a sign to redirect us...
...the more that sign eludes us, the more lost we feel, and the slower we go...
...until finally, we come to a COMPLETE STOP
...AND THEN WE ARE STUCK
By learning about and paying attention to the warning signs at every level in the process of getting stuck, we hold the keys to GETTING UNSTUCK
THUS, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF STILTED, SLOWING, HESITATING, OR DOWNRIGHT STUCK, THE VERY BEST THING TO DO IS...
...MAKE THE CALL by reaching out to a friend or family member
...START AGAIN IMMEDIATELY because stuck is often the start of the ball running downhill,
...AND THE FURTHER IT TRAVELS & THE FASTER IT ROLLS, the harder it becomes to start again
