Are you stuck?

Ever feel like you’re not moving forward in your life? I do. Recently… a lot. So what do I try to do? Get unstuck. Get busy. Start doing something. Anything. I’ve equated being stuck with being lazy.

But the reason we’re stuck is seldom because of a lack of activity. In fact, in that frame of mind, activity buries us further. It’s kinda like trying to get a car unstuck by giving it more gas. The wheels spin faster, the car goes nowhere, and now we’re a foot deeper in the same snow bank.

Rev Toni of the Centre for Spiritual Enrichment offers this advice:

We freeze up and can not act when the fear of what might happen outweighs the desire for what we want to happen. The fear is always a lie believed so what is the lie about yourself that you are believing? See it for what it is and you will find the freedom to act.

What is the lie you believe about yourself?
