You're Not behind Schedule

Hey friends, 

It's been a while since we talked, and you were on my mind.  The word stagnation has been speaking to me a lot lately. So, of course, I looked up the definition for a better understanding.

Stagnation means: “a situation in which something stays the same and does not grow and develop. ”According to Cambridge Dictionary. 

✨And I got from the definition that stagnation is just a feeling. 

                 STAGNATION IS A FEELING! 

Do you remember when you were a kid, and you said, “When I grow up, I'm going to be x, y, and z”? Somewhere along the way, you either strayed from that dream, or maybe you followed it. But at some point, in your life, you reached a period of stagnation. If you're saying yeah! Mahalia, that's me! Then no worries! I have been feeling like that since last year. But the good news is stagnation doesn't have to be defeat! 

STAGNATION DOESN’T HAVE TO BE DEFEAT! 

Stagnation just means you're blocked, not moving, or growing.  But as long as you're determined to continue and beat the odds, then your story isn't over yet. Only when you choose to stay stuck or close-minded will you be defeated? But having obstacles or moving slower than others doesn't mean it's over for you. No matter where you are on your journey or where u think you should be by now.  I want you to know that you're not behind schedule. 

If you want to get out of stagnation. Then a big part of it is changing you how view your situation. Whether it's a relationship, a career move, health, or a drastic life change. How you view the challenge in front of you determines how it will or will not swallow you. 

I love to encourage others and help them find their inner warrior. As I continue to follow my passion, I see others in the same field as me; they are far more advanced than I am. Then, those thoughts begin to spiral in my mind and make me feel like I am not progressing.  Until I reflected on what I have done over the last few weeks or even months. 

That helps me put into perspective that I am on my own journey, and my climax isn't going to be someone else peak. Knowing that I can move at my own pace and continue to make a difference gives me a sigh of relief. 

I encourage you to not let the feeling of stagnation deter you from continuing to progress. I hope you have an awesome rest of the week! 

Love,

Mahalia 💛💛
