No, you are not stuck. If you think you are stuck, you can always unstuck yourself.

The Lord has a lot of things in store for you. Because of that, please do not stuck yourself. There are so many things that you can do to change your life. You can get away from a toxic environment. You can say ‘goodbye’ to a toxic friend. You can quit a toxic job. You can take responsibility for your life. You can stretch yourself. Above all, you can take care of your thought.

If something is not making you better, if something is not adding anything to your life, guess what, it is taking a lot away from your life.

If you are in a place where you are always disrespeted, you don’t have to stay there. You don’t have to tolerate it. If you are not comfortable anymore, you can leave.

‘If you want to connect with your inner happiness, you must unstuck yourself.’

Do not forget that you are the master of your life. And you must treat yourself as such. Do not wait for anyone to tell you to leave a smoky room. Do not wait for anyone to tell you to leave an abusive relationship. Yes, it is okay to listen to other people. But you know what is good for you. You know when it is time to say ‘enough is enough.’

If you want to live a peaceful life, you must not stuck yourself in a rut. If you want to connect with your inner happiness, you must set yourself free. You must unstuck yourself. Because, according to the Greek philosopher Epictectus, ... the door is always open.Yes, it is.

Why You Must Stay In Your Lane

Are you in your lane? If you are not, it is never too late to start again.

What does it mean to stay in your own lane?

When you are in your own lane, you accept who you are. When you are in your own lane, you are you. You follow your heart. You don’t compare yourself to anyone. You don’t care about what other people are doing. The only thing that matters to you is your growth.

‘When you are in your lane, there is no traffic.’- Ava DuVernay

When you are in your own lane, you are not scared to do what you most need to do. When you are in your own lane, you are not scared of mistakes, of failures. You are comfortable with whatever you get. You are comfortable with yourself.

When you are in your own lane, you are being true to yourself. You don’t lie to yourself. And when you are in your own lane, you don’t settle for less. You know what you can do. You know what you cannot do. Above all, when you are in your lane, when you are doing your own thing, when you are living your life, ‘there is no traffic.’

‘When you are in your lane, you are in charge of your life.’

So if you want to be successful in your life, do not be scared to follow your path. Do not be scared to start something, to be the first to do something. And do not be scared to represent yourself. Because if you don’t, other people will represent you. When they do, they are in charge of your life, not you. Do you want that to happen to you?
