Keep moving

"Achievement seems to be connected
with action. Successful men and
women keep moving. They make
mistakes, but they don't quit."

Positively Positive

Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.

You'll get there one day.  http://roots2blossom.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/youll-get-there-one-day/


Getting stuck, going nowhere fast, spinning your wheels, are all terms used when little or no progress occurs.  When I worked so hard at counseling then find myself melting down over the same stuff I would feel so frustrated.  I learned that sometimes when everything seems to be stopped I need to rest.  Refocus as to what my goal is.   Maybe I need to adjust my goal.  Whatever I decide at that moment giving up is not an option.  When I decided to go to counseling, I took giving up off the table of options.  The interesting thing about removing an option it freed up my attention and energy to look for what could be done.  I also kept in mind that if I try to exert power over what I do not control then I will always fail.  Refocus on what I can change.  Rethink if the goal is what I need to do.  Reassess where I am spending my time and energy.  I believe there is real value in checking in with yourself.  It is frustrating for me when I spend a lot of time and energy working towards something I don't actually want.  A few years back I went to a class reunion.  One of my very motivated friends worked hard to become a great lawyer.  She succeeded and hated it.  She was quitting be a lawyer to run a bed and breakfast.  I realized if I am climbing a ladder that it is leaning against the right wall.  Sometimes I feel like I am staying in the same place because I am using all my energy in the wrong direction.   Sometimes staying marching in place keeps my muscles warmed up for when it is time to move.
