Stuck

Being stuck rarely looks like failure.
Being stuck often looks like this:
You have a decent 9-5 job.
The work is good, people are nice.
You come home on time.
Have dinner with your family.
Put your kids to bed.
Chat with your wife.
You sleep on a soft bed, with AC.
Weekends you drive out together.
To a park, by the sea, or a mall.
There’s nice meals, nice shopping.
There’s not much lack at all.
Everyone’s more than comfortable.
You have a house over your head.
A fridge full of food and drinks.
Running water, hot showers.
Always-on internet and all the comforts
Everyone seems fed, healthy, happy.
Nothing seems out of whack.
Yet you feel stuck.
And as that life unfolds through the day, week, month, year, you sink even more into that stuckness.
Everything is great.
And so, nothing is.
Why?
