At some point, almost every one of us gets stuck. So, if you feel stuck right now, you are not alone.

Humans tend to get stuck because most people are afraid of change. As Arnold Bennett stated, “Any change, even for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.” You can never move forward until you stop complaining and start making changes.

Stuck people have these five things in common.

1. They lack clarity. They do not know where they want to go in life.
2. They lack a clear plan. Some stuck people know where they want to go but do not know how to get there. They lack a clear path to their target. They are stuck in the gap between the present and the future.
3. They are outward-focused. They focus on other people instead of focusing on their inner peace.
4. They lack daily plans of action. They start each day without accurately understanding what they need to do.
5. They underestimate themselves. They do not have a clear picture of their strengths and opportunities.
