What To Do When You Feel Stuck
I began reading a new book recently, titled, The Education of a Value Investor, by Guy Spier. I like this book quite a lot so far, and highly recommend it.
In the initial stages of the book, Spier writes about a very rough patch he encountered very early in his career. During this experience, he felt stuck and unable to move forward. However, an initially resisted visit to a conference hosted by a popular self-help guru helped him move forward. In detailing the experience, Spier relates the following:
"Robbins (self-help guru) hammered into my head the idea that, if you want to go somewhere, anywhere, and you're stuck, 'Just Do It! Just make a move! Any move!' This might be obvious to many. It was obvious to me. But my bias toward analysis-paralysis meant that it was easier for me to pontificate in a library than to act. Robbins convinced me that I had to break the patterns of negative thought, push through my fears, and get moving."
If you feel stuck today, what was true for Guy Spier may also be true for you. Sometimes you just need to make a move...any move. Do not allow fear to rule your life. Begin moving forward in a positive direction today!
