Getting Unstuck

Reaching our goals can be very difficult. We are all faced with significant challenges such as countless demands on our time and attention, dissatisfying relationships, and internal battles with stress, anxiety, depression, low motivation, lack of self-confidence, and/or low self-esteem. These are some of the common challenges that we all struggle with at one time or another. The good news, however, is that we do not need to re-invent the wheel in order to resolve such problems. The most successful people are typically not people who have all the answers and are able to accomplish their goals without external support. The most successful people are those who are wise enough to to identify and acquire whatever knowledge, skills, support, resources, healing, motivation, and/or perspective necessary to achieve their goals. They focus on taking action in order to empower themselves to make changes and improve their lives. They might solicit advice from those they respect and trust, read self-help books and articles, create or join support groups of people with the same or similar challenges, and/or schedule an appointment to consult with a therapist, life coach, doctor, or other person reputed to have expertise in dealing with the specific challenge they face.
