Being Stuck Because I'm Stuck

The other day, during my morning walk, I felt something poking my foot through the sole of my thick HOKA sneaker. It didn’t hurt, but I could feel it. And I’m not sure why, but for days, I allowed this discomfort to accompany me on my morning walks. I didn’t necessarily like the way it felt, but I didn’t do anything about it. Until one day, out of nowhere, I decided to take a look at the bottom of my shoe.

And this is what I saw.

Yes, this was stuck in my shoe. This is what was poking me.

So, I pulled it out and started walking. The slight discomfort was gone. Everything felt normal. I soon asked myself, “Why did I allow myself to feel this discomfort for so long?” Initially, I had no answer. But then, I thought about this question a bit more, and suddenly, it hit me. I’ve obviously made peace with discomfort. I’ve made peace with unfulfilled dreams. I’ve made peace with financial uncertainty. I’ve made peace with feeling stuck. I was being stuck because I'm STUCK! This is unacceptable, and having this thing stuck in my shoe has helped me to realize that I need to become “unstuck.”

How? I’m not sure. But I’m going to try something. Recently, I was listening to Jim Rohn who said, “What you don’t change, you choose.” This week, I’m going to make intentional decisions and choose to change, especially when I work on www.suletheproverbdetective.com.  Check back, so I can let you know how it goes.
