“Stuck” Is Just Code for Playing It Safe

When people say they’re stuck, what they really mean is: “I’m avoiding risk.”
“Stuck” sounds passive, like something’s being done to you.
But most of the time, it’s just this:
You know what to do. You just don’t want to deal with the discomfort that comes with doing it.
So you spin. You plan. You research.
All so you don’t have to move forward and maybe fail.
Let’s call it out:
Stuck is a choice
Clarity comes from action, not thinking
Fear dressed up as “waiting for the right time” is still fear
Example:
A friend told me she was “stuck” in her job and didn’t know her next move.
I asked, “What’s the scary thing you already know you should do?”
She paused. Then said it.
She wasn’t stuck. She was scared to say it out loud.
Action Step:
Write this out:
“If I were being brutally honest, the move I’m avoiding is _____.”
There’s your next step. Don’t overthink it—just act on it before your brain talks you out of it.
Closing CTA:
Stuck is a smokescreen. The real question is:
What truth are you avoiding that would set you in motion?
Cut the fluff. Own the fear.
