Wet Paper Bag

Have you ever had the feeling of being lost without direction, can't seem to move forward or even backward? Well you are not alone. I have found so many people in the same place, but yet they are afraid to share it with anyone else. They feel stuck in a dead end job, or their relationship isn't moving forward or they feel just stuck with no place to go. In all of these cases when you feel this way, they think that the answer is leaving the relationship, or leaving the job, but what if that isn't the answer. What if the answer you seek is not found in another job, or another person, but the answer you seek was right their all along.

It is time to stop looking for the answer we seek in others first and start looking for the answer in ourselves. If we seek others we will only find more questions more problems. Same with the jobs, maybe it is time we start learning instead of running, hiding and just being selfish.

Are you being honest with yourself? Are we being honest with the person we are with? If you are in a relationship, is honesty, communication your goal? Well if they aren't, the answers start with you, stop looking for the easy way out and start looking for the answers that will last a lifetime.

I missed the boat on this so many times. I thought in order to find what I thought I lost I had to seek others in the same boat, but really that just led to more problems. We can't help others until we learn the bottom line in ourselves. We will give in and surrender ourselves to things that wouldn't be alright if we were thinking straight. We will take a job just to get away from problems only to find the same ones around us again. The answer isn't in the job, in a person, it is in you. Stop looking for the easy answer and make a choice to fix the problems.

The first step we must take is in ourselves. Stop pointing fingers and ask what can I do to change the situation, what can I do about the issues at home or work. When we say if the job would change or my partner would change we are not seeing the issue. Look first at yourself, because in order to change others, we must first be willing to change ourselves.
