You are not stuck. According Kathy Caprino, ‘You’re only stuck if you let yourself be stuck.’ If you are feeling stuck, if you are not getting things done, if you are not where you are supposed to be, then try something different.

Stop doing the same thing. Stop meeting the same people. If you keep doing the same thing, your life is not going to change.

In Kathy’s words, ‘If you keep doing the same thing over and over, you’ll struggle to bring about positive change.’

To unstuck yourself, according to Tom Oliver, ‘The only way to transform your self-image, transform your life, and transform your success in business is to bombard yourself with a never-ending stream of positive suggestions, imagery, praise, visions, desires, goals, and successes.’

Why We Suffer

Why do we suffer? Where does suffering come from?

According to Pema Chodron, ‘Our repetive suffering does not come from this uncomfortable sensation but from what happens next… .It comes from rejecting our own energy when it comes in a form we don’t like. It comes from continually strengthening habits of grasping and aversion and distancing ourselves. In particular it comes from our internal conversations- our judgments, embellishments, and labels ablout what’s happening.’

If you want to free yourself, you must face your reality. instead of hiding your feelings, why not focus on what you can change? Why not explore what you are feeling, what the feelings are communicating to you?

No matter what is going on in your life, if you want to learn from it, you must embrace your feelings. And do not run from your feelings; accept them.
