Stuck... on People

This one seems pretty self-explanatory. We get stuck on people... stuck in hoping, believing, thinking that they will move our lives forward. Or maybe we're just too afraid to move on from relationships that are well and truly stuck. Or maybe we keep looking for the rainbow over the next hill, always jumping from relationship to relationship. Hopping around like a bean in a hot pan is just as stuck as being rooted in one place. Stuck comes in a lot of different forms. I actually thought, the author could have beefed up this chapter a bit more... because there are lots of ways in which we become stuck on people. We think that they have the answer to our problems. We want what they have, whether it's a joy for life, or energy, or stability or balance. We cling to them like a drowning swimmer... Not a nice picture... What would it take for each of us to realize that we are the ones... and the only ones... who can create joy in our life... or energy... or stability... or balance. It can't come from outside us. Sucking it out of others does nothing for us, other than create a stuckness... a new sort of addiction, that is really a choice at the end of the game... and a selfish choice too...
