Or we change our minds frequently.
The best way to never get any traction in life is to either never make a decision, or to change your mind constantly. Regularly changing your plans is a great way to feel like you’re doing something without ever making any progress.

• Conclusion
• There are many ways to stay stuck. A lack of direction and decisiveness are two of the primary culprits that foster ineffectiveness and unproductivity. Without an objective, there’s no destination. Without a decision, it’s impossible to take the first step.• Keep your focus on the long-term and take responsibility
for your circumstances. It’s easier to blame others than to deal with the situation, but you give up your ability to turn things around.• You are stronger than you think. Reflect on your past
accomplishments and challenges you have overcome. You’ve been unstuck before and you can become unstuck again. 13
