Stuck

Here’s a definition for you: A lack of development, advancement, or progressive movement. Care to guess what it defines? If you said stagnant, you’re the winner. Air, the economy, and water stagnate. Yes, we too can get stagnant or more commonly referred to as being in a rut. I’ve been stagnant in jobs, relationships, and life in general. The good thing I learned about being stagnant is that you can and will stay stagnant if you do nothing and allow it to occur. We’re not physically chained to a desk, relationship, or situation. We get comfortable, complacent, and lazy, and those situations lead to resentment at some point. 

 

Getting in a situation where you dread going to work or dread going home to the husband or wife just leads to misery for all, and you can’t hide it. Eventually, the stagnation will rear its ugly head if not dealt with in a timely manner. I’m not suggesting you bolt from a job or a relationship when you feel stagnation coming on; however, I am suggesting you pay attention to when you feel it coming on rather than letting it fester and spread. Feeling stuck happens in life, but staying stuck is a choice.
