You're not stuck

Sometimes we’re making killer progress.

Everything’s running smoothly.

Everyday we’re taking steps forward.

Getting stronger.

Improving our health.

Paying down debt.

Learning new skills and concepts.

Really crushing it.

The feeling of forward momentum is so satisfying.

Other times, progress is a grind.

It seems like we’re moving so slowly.

We really have to hunker down.

Do the work.

Day in and day out.

Barely moving along.

This is still satisfying, if not even more so than when things come more easily.

Yet, there are those times when nothing’s happening at all.

We feel like we’re putting in so much time and energy.

But we’re going nowhere.

We’re not seeing the results we’d like.

Our labor is fruitless.

It’s really tempting to throw in the towel.

In situations like this, we want to quit.

Not because the goal no longer matters to us.

But because we’re frustrated.

Because we’re worn down.

Burnt out.

Quitting is not our only option when this happens.

You might not be making progress.

You might not know your next steps.

You might feel stuck.

You're not stuck.

You've just stopped.

It's a matter of time, effort, and awareness.

Keep showing up.

Adjust your strategy as necessary.

You'll get moving forward again.

This kind of persistence isn’t easy.

It isn’t fun.

It takes time.

It takes hard work.

It takes humility.

But if the goal is worth it, so is the effort.

You are worthy of the best life.

The kind of life that doesn’t come without a fight.

You are worthy of that kind of life.

You’ve got this.

What’s actually happening?

We often assign stories to what’s going on around us. These stories can have elaborate introductions, conclusions, and messages. Rarely, though, do we ask ourselves if these stories are helpful or eve...

What if we simply listened?

Allowing others to open up to us can be a powerful tool for exchanging the gift of connection. So often, though, we're too focused on responding, controlling, or judging for any connection to form. We...

Life isn't always a problem to be solved

We often get stuck in patterns of problem solving. No matter what comes our way, we feel the need to do something. Sometimes, though, there's nothing for us to do. Life isn't always a problem to be so...

Those we see as least worthy of compassion are often those who need it most

Holding compassion for those we see as malicious, selfish, or otherwise unworthy may not feel right. Such characteristics, however, are often rooted in deep suffering or fear. Those we see as least wo...

Let your thoughts serve you

Our thoughts make wonderful servants. They can be invaluable for reflection, forethought, and contemplation. When we accept them without question, though, we allow them to act as our masters. They can...

You'll never hate yourself into loving yourself

Make peace with your imperfection

Striving for perfection is a futile effort. You've always made mistakes and you always will. Rather than carry the burden of a reality you refuse to accept, face those mistakes with kindness and compa...
