Often in life, we feel stuck, unsure of how to navigate through challenges or overcome obstacles in our path. These moments sometimes bring out the worst in us and we just can’t think of getting
past those moments. It should be noted that the problem lies not with the circumstance but in our approach of looking at that problem or situation. We get overwhelmed as to how to navigate through such obstacles or how to overcome that situation that we get overshadowed by worry, stress and tension. Our minds get blocked and paralyzed.
We see no end to the situation and think that it will always be so grim and that we are trapped for life. But it’s crucial to shift our perspective and see that:
- This too shall pass: This situation you are in will not last forever.
- No Need for the Whole Solution: We don’t need to solve the entire puzzle at once that is we don’t need to sort out our whole life in those moments. We don’t need to know the entire path carved out in front of us.
- The Magic of “Next Step”: What we need to focus on in that moment is our “next step”. That’s all. If we just think and know what we need to do next, we won’t feel so stuck. It is not necessary to know the whole solution or way out of a problem, even knowing just the next action or step we need to take is lifesaving in such grave events in our life.
We can also relate this to living in the present moment and not worrying too much about the future.
So, just focus on the next step and let the path reveal itself to you!!!
