The other morning I woke to a lovely email from a lovely woman. She said: "More than anyone, you're the one who inspires me to do different...not more, not less, just different."
"Huh", I said to myself, rather surprised, "she's uncovered the Holy Grail of Unstuck."
Because getting unstuck - despite all the hype to the contrary - is not about Go Big Or Go Home. The only person who benefits from that approach is the person who wants to sell you a biggification program at a low-low price.
And getting unstuck is not about the minimalism of a four hour work week. To tell you the truth, just as I am constitutionally unable to drive 55, I am unable to work four hours and call it a week. I just get too much meaning and purpose from what I do.
No, getting unstuck is mostly about Doing Something Different. Just something. Just trying.
Fear usually rears its ugly head when you try something different. Ever discovered that? The "what if?" fear. The "what will people say?" fear. The "who will I be if I succeed?" fear.
