Boost

Whenever we find ourselves stagnating or even stuck on our path, chances are that we are missing something; that we are not seeing the whole picture of the situation we are in. We may be focused on just one aspect of it, trying to come to a solution or perhaps just taking a next step ~ and yet, no matter what we do, we seem unable to move passed the point we are at.

In such a situation, one could say that we are blind, that we need new eyes to see the existing situation in a new and different light, so that we can ~ eventually ~ take new and different steps to resolve the situation, or break free from the stagnation we are experiencing.

There are many ways to gain a new and different perspective on life:
We can put the situation aside for a couple of days, and ‘start from scratch’ when we get back to it.
We can observe the point we are at in life from a meditative perspective.
We can ask friends or colleagues to give us their insights into what we are experiencing.
We can decide to focus our energy on something else entirely and ‘see what happens with it’.
We can find a class ~ or maybe a motivational speaker ~ that inspires and motivates us, often from an entirely different point of view.

Whichever manner appeals to us most in order to break free and get moving again, is bound to give us a boost. A boost in inspiration. A boost in energy. A boost in movement, or even motivation.

The thing all of these ways to gain a new perspective have in common is that we take a positive step in order to give ourselves a boost! And this boost then, usually comes with a new enthusiasm to get going on our path. Even if that means taking a detour, or choosing a different direction altogether.
Perhaps a direction we feel more passionate about. Definitely a direction that inspires us and gives us the boost to take steps in that particular direction. Even when we never thought that direction held much in store for us; at this point in our life it may well hold to key to ‘get un-stuck’ and move ahead.

While we are all traveling our path through life in our own, personal way and at our own pace; and while in doing so there are no wrong moves, or wrong directions ~ we may find that when we find ourselves stagnating it is not necessarily about an obstacle on our path, but rather about needing a little bit of a boost to take our next bold move.
