I’ve been trying to push past a few barriers, a couple of flaws, and the
unexpectedly expected crap that presents itself every day.
  I’m stuck.
  At times, it feels like I am standing against the stream and all the rubbish and residue from the storm keeps pushing against me. I can’t seem to do anything but hold my ground, or sink a little deeper into the mud.
  It’s time for perspective.
  Stillness provides an opportunity to look around, get your bearings, catch a breath, and figure out the next step.
  Just because you are stuck in a rut doesn’t mean you can’t get out of it.
  There is always a way forward.
