How to get unstuck.

We feel stuck because we think we don’t have options and we are afraid of change.

The way to get unstuck is to learn to prototype your life.

Try something small that won’t cost you dearly but give you enough experience to validate your assumptions.

Want to become a writer? Start writing 15 minutes a day, publish it and see what happens.

Thinking about moving to a different part of the country? Renting a place to live there for several weeks, getting to know the neighbors, the commute, and the weather.

Don’t know what to select as a college major? Audit as many diverse classes as you can. See if you like the subjects, the teachers, the classmates.

So don’t ever think that you are stuck. Do something small, get feedback, evaluate, make adjustments, and repeat.
