Feeling Stuck

You know what you should be doing.

So why is it still so hard to begin?

Maybe the problem isn’t your discipline.

Maybe it’s the way the task is designed.

The hardest place to leave is the life that isn’t quite right but isn’t quite wrong enough to walk away from.

But somewhere along the way, something stopped moving.

This is a story about the kind of prison that doesn’t have walls… and why it’s the hardest one to leave.
