5 Things To Remember When You’re Stuck And Desperate For A Change

               No matter how rough your life gets, you can always turn it around.

On my birthday many moon ago, when Google and I were both a lot younger, I Googled “how to change your life when you’re stuck” to see what would come up.  I had been feeling hopelessly trapped – I was busy racing around in circles every day without any meaningful progress.  I knew I needed to find a better roadmap as I was getting depressed with the same old grind.

Granted, I was working 60+ hours a week, struggling with a failing business, and coping with the recent deaths of two loved ones.  The stress and pace of life just seemed to keep me busy from 7am to midnight every day without much time for self-reflection and mindfulness, and deep down I knew the head-spinning, circular path I was on wasn’t sustainable.

As I scrolled through Google’s search results I was fascinated by the overwhelming quantity of books, articles and quotes all designed to motivate a person to take positive action and make positive changes.  Messages of “Let Go and Move On” or “Be Present” were plentiful; however, nothing truly clicked with me.  I was looking for guidance that was a bit more specific… guidance like “Walk seven blocks down Main Street and turn right onto Sunshine Drive.  Your ‘better’ path begins there.”
