Stuck Between A Rock And A Hard Place

Sometimes life can be a tricky wicket and sometimes sticky to boot! Finding yourself between obstacles and seemingly impossible choices can be defeating....First, take a deep breath. Ask yourself if you are doing everything in your power and control to impact the situation. If the answer is "yes" then ask if there is more that you can do. If the answer is "no" then stay the course and have faith, that while you cannot change another or do more than you can do fully that as long as you do not give up or give in, it will work out. Bottom line is this...we can only change ourselves and our circumstances by continually examining ourselves: our thoughts, our actions, our contributions. When we fall into defeat or laziness is exactly when we accept the worst possible outcome. We are always responsible for ourselves and ourselves only! We are not responsible for the thoughts, actions, or consequences of others. Applying the "Golden Rule" here is to relinquish the false presumption of any control outside of ourselves and just be responsible for YOU! If you are thinking and acting in accordance with treating others in thought and action as you would have them treat you, then all is well even if the circumstances are less than desirable in the moment.
