By There have been times in my life where I’ve simply felt stuck. Unmotivated, unfulfilled, just plain stuck.
What I’m learning again and again is that change HAPPENS. Sometimes change occurs when we don’t even realize it. Sometimes we don’t want our situation to change and we become resistant.
I think it’s important to give value to these changes, to recognize and appreciate our process. Change is inevitable like the sun rising. Our breathe will be our anchor.
So I try to remember when I’m feeling stuck…go with the flow, change is on its way.

Friends from Cambodia!
I think you have uncovered an important spiritual principle. Maybe consciously being in that flow means that getting stuck is no longer even possible! Thanks, inspiring, as usual!

Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Maybe getting stuck is all part of the process. Maybe it’s our way of recognizing things don’t feel right. I like to think it’s my brain rejecting complacency. It’s acts a prompt to search inward and find the answers I need. Going with the flow all the time might be impossible for me 😂 I love routine and the structure brings me comfort. Like anything in life, it must be a balance of both, right?

You have got my brain to turning today. I love the concept of balance, but really, I just want extreme peace and bliss all the time. Is that too much to ask?

Honestly, extreme peace may only be available to us in death. I say that because I believe everyday before our passing, we have the opportunity to learn and grow from our experiences. Growth comes from adversity. It stems from taking risks and stepping outside our comfort zone. I think we can find peace every day by remembering our breath and using positivity but I think we are defined by how we respond to when things don’t go well. Viktor Frankl says, “Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual”. Life is tied to adversity in so many different ways. A life without may not be life at all. It must be our choice to return to a state of peace by whatever means possible for the individual. What do you think?
