Unstuck

I think one of the most frustrating things in life has to be being stuck! Whether it is being stuck in an airport waiting for a flight that has been delayed for hours. Whether it is being stuck in traffic that is moving at a snail's pace... literally! Whether it is being stuck in mud or snow. Whether it is being stuck in a beliefs or prejudices. Whether it is being stuck in fear. Whether it is being stuck at a crossroads, unable/unwilling to make a choice. In all of these, there is an inability to move forward, and sometimes just an inability to move at all! We are beings of movement and creation. To be stuck is to start to the process of stifling and killing our spirit. For movement and creation gives us hope for the future... for something else... for something different. When we are stuck... we are going nowhere... and our spirit chafes at this.

But when we get moving... ah then things begin to spread out! We can see movement... we see the transformation within us and within our space almost immediately. We begin to create space for something else to show up! There are many things that keep us stuck... stuck doing the same things day after day... What would it take for you to get unstuck? What would it take for you to shift into something else? A new way of thinking? A new way of being? A new way of creating life? Sure, it involves risks... but life is like that... there are risks as well in staying stuck... and sometimes far dire consequences than leaping out and taking a chance on something new and something different. What is keeping you stuck?
