The saying "The grass isn't always greener" is said time and again but when do you just take the leap to find out for yourself? As you can see the grass in my real backyard is just starting to grow. I owe that to my husband, this is his 1st lawn. Nicely done. The figurative lawn on the other hand is burning up in this drought of stimulation.
Work has been rough. I come home after being beat down most days and wonder why do I put up with it. I am to smart, creative, special, hard working, etc etc to be feeling this way. I have a strong desire to achieve greatness so what is holding me back. Then I look at the kids, the house, the dogs, and husband and I realize I have a lot of people relying on my stable job. At the end of the month I will be celebrating 10 years at my current company. 5 years ago I would have told you that I would be happy and proud of the work I do. Today, going on 10 years, I am struggling to make it in each day. I think it's time for a change, don't you?
A common phrase here in NE OH is "I feel stuck"... When I am at work I want to scream "SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO GET UNSTUCK"? I follow some very smart and influential people on line, at least I think so, and I try to incorporate their teachings into my day at work. It's hard to do because on most days people roll their eyes or snicker as if it's a waste of their time. None the less I push forward instead of pushing back... At home though, I challenge my family, especially the kids, to think about what is it that they want to achieve in life and how will THEY achieve it.
I think it's time I start living up to those words. I am keeping an open mind and open heart and am willing to take what ever the universe brings my way. I will leap, I will stay, I will forge ahead and no longer feel stuck in my own life. So follow me and my family and learn how we UNSTUCK ourselves!
that's great Jen. unstick yourselves, you never know where you'll float off to.
ReplyDeleteMy mother spent her entire life making excuses for why she couldn't do what she wanted to, but we never knew it until her excuses were gone. Now we see what a fraud she was. I found myself doing the same thing. So now I just admit that I'm stuck where I want to be. It makes the guilt go away.
