When you are stuck

There are times in life when you feel like nothing is changing or happening as it should. It almost feels like sleep paralysis where you are conscious but you cannot move nor talk: you feel like you are not in control and it is frightening.

Most people panic in such situations. They forget that because they are stuck, what they have is time. Time to think or just time to relax. Just like sleep paralysis, this situations are temporary and though they may be uncomfortable, they are not life threatening. You will not die if you just stop and relax. Sometimes you have to lose control to be in control.
Therefore, when you cannot make head or tails of your situations, when you feel no matter how hard you try nothing is happening, just take a deep breath and take it easy. When something is meant to be it shall. In God’s good time things work out. He is never late and always on time. Remember, persistence will get the ball rolling but only consistency will keep it moving. So when you feel stuck, do not overexert yourself, just keep going at your pace; consistently. Eventually the feeling will wear off and you will have the control back, only this time you have more insight.
