The Language of Purpose
Ever felt like you’re running in circles? That restlessness isn’t failure—it’s your purpose calling. Feeling stuck is a universal signal that something needs to change, and it’s the first step toward a life aligned with your deepest desires. Let’s explore why this feeling is a gift and how to harness it.
Feeling Stuck?
Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means you’re ready for the next level. Instead of focusing on your current circumstances, look for the next challenge. Look for an opportunity to grow and change.
The Root of Feeling Stuck
Using First Principles Thinking, we can break down the causes of feeling stuck. It often stems from misaligned values (e.g., pursuing a career that clashes with your need for freedom) or unclear purpose. For example, question your assumptions about what you are currently doing. Question why you are feeling stuck whilst doing that activity. You are likely to uncover a passion which seeks your attention.
