Stuck In The Mud

"Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old - old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don't. In both cases we have to DO something." ~Rush Limbaugh

Have you ever encountered those moments in life when you feel like you are stuck in the mud? Your boots are mired deeply in the muck with little chance of moving forward or backwards. A moment that could make you decide to give up.

Life isn't meant to be stuck in one place, one circumstance or as one unreachable destination. Life is meant to be getting out of the mud. Never giving up and always moving beyond the current situation.

If you have ever become stuck in the mud, you can just about guess what happens when the mud begins to dry. If you fail to keep moving or stop trying, the mud will harden around your feet. And it can happen when you delay in making a choice to keep moving.

But what happens if you find yourself stuck in a dry field of mud, unable to move? You keep trying, you look for ways to free yourself. Opportunity in the way of rain could come along and loosen dirt. But why wait, why not keep trying to break free?

The mud and the harden dirt are only obstacles to overcome. They are not answers to your life. You were not meant to be stuck in one place. You were meant to succeed. You were meant to find your destination, your goal and your vision.

So when you find yourself stuck, your boots holding tight to the mud; pull your feet out and keep moving forward to solid ground. Get your life unstuck and keep moving.

Hi Joseph,

Agree. Everytime things have happened for me, its when I decdided to "move", when everybody said "you cant move yet, you have nothing to move with, or too"

But moving, and moving fast, inspires yourself, then things happen from that, you bump into others, and so on. It rolls like a big snowball. Keeping it rolling is the key.

Something I am about to do in a few months when I head to LA.

Great posts.
