“Being stuck is a
position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old -old
ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own
genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don’t. In both cases we
have to DO something.
-Inga Teekens
Do you ever feel stuck? Do you ever feel like your life is
like a train heading full speed down the tracks laid out for you- and the landscaping is
boring? You can’t go back and you can’t
even stop, and you can’t even hope for more than a fork in the road. Maybe you
are in a job that you never wanted or turned out much different than you
expected. Maybe you’ve lived the whole marriage, kids, and empty nest just
because it was expected of you. Maybe your marriage is empty.
You need an adventure. If you keep on this path, the boredom
will cause you to snap and you will do something you’ll regret.
You might not be able to change your job and you certainly
can’t change your husband and kids (you’ve probably tried), so it’s time to
change your environment. Change the
furniture around, paint a room, hang up photographs, buy new curtains,
organize your cabinets. You don’t need to move to a new place or spend lots of
money (that’s just self-medicating), simply take ownership of your life and make it
prettier, more interesting and functional. Learn to enjoy where you are. Let
your home improvement project symbolize your life improvement.

You are not stuck on any tracks. You are right where God
wants you to be. Now go find out WHY he wants you to be there.
