Being stuck is setting goals but putting off doing anything to make them a reality.
Being stuck is wanting everything to be perfect before taking a step.
Being stuck is making promises to yourself, to God, or someone else and not keeping it.


Being stuck is not taking the steps you need to take to keep yourself from physical or emotional harm — or perhaps becoming a victim.
Being stuck is waiting until things become so unbearable that you just can’t take it anymore.
Being stuck is allowing the fear of failure, disappointment, or change to keep you from taking the risk to chang. Sometimes we don’t take God at His word, because He doesn’t come through the way we expect.
Being stuck is the inability to see various alternatives that do exist.
Being stuck is feeling helpless, frustrated, worthless, and hopeless.
Being stuck is seeing life through a negative filter and expecting the worst from situations and people.
Being stuck is underestimating the potential that God has given to you.
Being stuck can be minimizing your situation, conditions or problems — in other words, denial.
Becoming and remaining stuck is a detour from blessing that may end up becoming a permanent route for the rest of your life. It bypasses all that God has for us.

Wow. I didn’t realize — until just now, what was “wrong” with me. I struggle each day, I make promises. I set goals, I am a “wannabe” perfectionist. But, I can’t see to get it together.

I am not digressing. This is something I read last week, and started this entry, but never got it finished. I know this isn’t a positive and “go forward” thing to post as I’m looking for the “life of contentment”, but maybe this is the springboard. After I read this, I just sat there — and thought “wow … I get it now”. I can check off most of them.

I’m tired of being stuck. I am ready to move forward.

Blessings to all.
