Trapped

The feeling of being trapped is more common than you might think.  Some are trapped in a failing body, a tough job, a business that isn’t panning out or a relationship that isn’t working.  Maybe it’s mediocre success and your soul is itching for more.

Your attitude towards the stuck circumstance is an important component to perseverance.  If you use stuck or trapped language for example, it will likely make it worse.  Assuming you want to be free, your outlook is about the most important thing.  False hopes or aggressive actions aren’t as useful as finding meaning inside the predicament. Reframing the current position and looking for upside to leverage is a pretty useful way to come out on top.

All the people around you feel trapped in some way.  You aren’t alone.
