Pay attention to the need to move through stagnation. Stagnation can look like depression, sorrow, fear, and anxiety. When faced with these debilitating feelings, just do one small thing to accomplish your goal. Small things lead to big things and it is action that creates the momentum that leads to fulfillment.
Yet sometimes the timing is not right. Things tend not to work in these situations. It is almost like the Universe has created a barricade preventing you from achieving your goal. Patience and sitting still may be called for. In these circumstances, remember the lesson of winter season. Bare trees may look dead, however, they are doing powerful invisible work during hibernation.
Similarly, you may be in a hibernation phase where your ideas are gestating until the right audience is ready to receive them and/or you learn something essential in order to most effectively deliver your work into the world.
Inspiration for the Day: “Thinking and trying to “understand” can often confuse us and result in paralysis. Only as we participate can we learn.” –Anne Wilson Schaef
