When making changes do you feel like you are going nowhere fast? Maybe you feel as if you don’t have any opportunities attractive enough to make a move. Whatever it may be, it is time to become unstuck.

Motivation

Sometimes you have to ask yourself what is my why? The one that I have learned while working or dealing with your personal life you have to have a why. The why is your motivation that keeps you going. For instance, my why for showing up at work each day (besides liking to eat) is that I feel that counseling is my calling and passion. Sessions are not a struggle at all because my why is that I feel like I am living out my purpose. My motivation/why for my personal life is that I cherish my family. I want to do whatever it takes to be able to spend as much time as possible with them. I want meaningful encounters with them as long as I have breath.

Movement

Sometimes we get stuck because (transparency) we are not taking enough action to go anywhere. It’s easy to plan or dream of what you want to do. The question that does not come so easy is …How do I get there? I know where I am and have been but the action part can be paralyzing. In order to get unstuck just start taking baby steps in the direction that you want to go. In the words of the late and great civil rights leader, “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.
