Great observation, Karen. I can't even count how many times the energy that comes from pursuing something that really matters to me has been vital to getting past the hard spots.

Would love for you to share this with people. Thanks!

Sometimes it is so easy to give in to "I can't do it." But it's actually when we find out that we CAN that will help us get back on track. The will and the determination have to be there...and the hope has to be there inside of you. Otherwise it's all a waste of time and energy.

We all need to think of the things that drive us, that inspire us, that put that fire in our bellies, and that we are passionate about. Being stuck in a rut is a natural state...but in the end it is up to us to keep it going. :)

Great article. :) I'd like to share this with my followers, if that's ok.
