I like the idea that we get “stuck” in some parts of our lives, rather than we are a failure or worthless or some other term with negative implications. Just because our life has a few flaws in it, a few imperfections, it does not mean that we should give up. Remember, we are only “stuck.”
Being stuck reminds me of traveling in a car on the way to a destination when we might come across a “road closed” sign due to some repairs being made to the road. This does not mean that the road is totally shut down forever. It does not mean that it no longer has any hope of contributing to the functionality of the highway system. Nor does it mean that the entire highway system is worthless, just because a section of it needs to be worked on. It just means that due to some circumstance (caused by either man or nature) this road needs attention.
I think that is how we should look at our lives; we get stuck and parts of our lives need attention from time to time. Even though many parts of our lives are working well, at times we may need to do some either minor, or even major repairs, on specific parts of it. We will still be able to function as a whole person, carrying on as a teacher, a friend, a parent, a partner, or whatever. However, we will need to take time to work on certain roads that are in need of repair if we hope to be able to travel that particular way in the future.
What part of your life, which of your roads, needs some attention?
