There are times when you just feel yourself being trapped in life. You want to make a change but it’s really hard for to step a leap forward. If you realized the reasons behind your feeling stuck in your current state, it would be much easier for you to move on.
When it comes to any change in life, two factors shall be unnecessarily involved in: safety and risk. Look at the following equation first:
Staying + familiarity = safety
Leaving + unknown = risk
Just like most new born babies are happy and feel safe with their parents while they’re afraid of strangers. Most people tend to feel safe with everything they can have control of or they are familiar with. While risk means they have to leave what they’re familar with and they have to step into a state of unknown.
In order to step out of the state of feeling stuck in your current state, you need to realize the reasons behind that feeling first. Anytime you feel stuck in something, you shall feel fear and apathy.
Fear.
It is because of fear that you feal being stuck in your current state. When you feel stuck in your current job, you may be fear of losing jobs or you may be fear of prejudice of others, or you may be fear that the income of the next job you get may not be so high. Or you may be fear of taking heavier burdens and readjust yourself again. When you feel stuck in your current health condition, you may be fear of taking too much time to do exercise. When you feel stuck in your current relationship without any progress, you may be afraid of doing more for the people you love and cann’t get the equal love you sacrifice.
Apathy.
Apathy is just as sad as living the poverty of spirit. Apathy may make you life in a hollow. When you have no stretch, you may not have growth. When you have no spark, you may not have drive. If you have no desire, you may not have innovation. If you have no purpose, you may not have fulfilment. And if you don’t have any commitment, you will not have any freedom.
Eveybody has fear and apathy sometimes in their life. The feeling of fear and apathy just coexist with your feeling of being stuck in your current of state. Feal and apathy aren’t the root cause of your feeling of being stuck in a state but a lack of a spark in a vision for yourself.
