Do you ever feel stuck???
I do, and have been struggling with this nagging feeling of being stuck for quite some time.
Today, while I was listening to some positivity, it hit me like a ton of bricks when I heard the speaker talk about getting unstuck. He said,
“Are you really stuck, or are you just afraid to let go??”
WOW!!! That really hit home for me, and reminded me of something I had heard earlier last week,
“You have to let go of who you are to become who you were meant to be!”
Ok, I am listening, God!! I think I hear what you are telling me!! 😉
I have known for some time that I have been needing to take some brave steps to get from where I am to get to where my soul is wanting to be. If you were to read my morning page entries for the past few months, you would see that there is a recurring theme!!
I want more.
I want to be an artist.
I want to live creatively.
I want to make a difference.
I want to be free.I want more. Oh wait – I said that already!! 😉
Well, it is true! I want more. I don’t want to sit in a cubicle day in and day out, doing what others would have me do with my life. I’m stuck!! Or at least that is what I had been telling myself, until today!! 😉
I am holding on.
That is the reality of my situation!
I am holding on out of fear.
Fear of the unknown.
Fear of what people might think.
Fear of failure.
Fear of falling apart.
Fear of hanging out on the ledge all by my little lonesome!!
But you know what, today is a new day! and I am determined to take those baby steps to get to where I want to be. No matter how long it takes. No matter how many do-overs I will need to take. No matter how many comments I may have to ignore, or how many shoulders I may have to lean on along the way.
My life, my dreams, my aspirations, and I am worth it.
and you know what???
SO ARE YOU!!!
What might you be holding on to out of fear! Isn’t today the day for us to get unstuck together!!
Let’s do this!!! What action(s) can you take today to get unstuck?? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section!! 😉
My Take Action Challenge: I am going to get my information packet together for an art studio here in town that is looking for new artists to instruct classes. WISH ME LUCK!!! 😉
Here is to a FABULOUS ARTSY evening!
If you want to have a different life, you have to live differently!!

Christina, I know how you feel. I’ve been there before. When I wanted to leave my job at the nursing home to become an antiques dealer I decided to do one thing every day, no matter how small, to get me to that goal. I have been in the antiques business for 15 years now and I love it! Making art is new for me, but I love that so far also. Keep taking those baby steps, every day, and you’ll get to your goal before you know it. And remember:
For God has not given us the spirit of fear (that’s from the enemy); but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
Thank you, Helen!! That is very encouraging to me!! Yes, baby steps, baby steps!! That has been my motto: no matter how slow I may seem to be going, I am still going waaaaay faster than if I were just sitting there!! 😉
