Are You Feeling Bogged Down?
“Feeling stuck is just a speedbump on the way to your destination.”
– Unknown
Is there an area of your life — personal or professional — where you feel rather bogged down?
As in…it feels like you’re trying to swim in quicksand?
Or like…when you’re driving a stolen scooter at lightening speed through the streets of Rome, being chased by bad guys (or you’re the one chasing the bad guys) and you suddenly find yourself (and your scooter) flying through the air, having gone off an unexpected ramp in the middle of the street and then phwump! you land back on the ground again, miraculously still upright…but when you go to give your trusty scooter gas again — to continue on your adventure/chase — much to your disbelief, you realize you’re not moving!
What?! WHY NOT?! You look down and see that the reason you are not moving is because you have inadvertently landed in…freshly poured concrete! NOOOOOO!! I hate it when that happens!
But you are not one to give up easily, so you rev your scooter again, determined to get unstuck. But you still don’t move! In fact, you quickly realize that not only are you just (slowly) spinning your wheels, you are doing so in rapidly-drying concrete.
