Moving from stuck to starting over.\n\nDo you ever get that stagnant feeling that nothing is changing? Nothing ever gets better? Are you asking yourself, \u201cWhy do I feel stuck in life?\u201d Life can sometimes feel like you are stuck in the mud \u2013 immovable and hopeless, or worse in quicksand and you feel you are sinking and suffocating. It\u2019s enough to create a depressive state in almost anyone.\n\nDo you feel stuck in a dead end job? Or a bad relationship? Are you stuck in a negative cycle that just keeps repeating itself like some bizarre ground hog day movie?\nThis Podcast is for you. You will learn to discern when to keep trying to change your situation and when to turn to acceptance with joy. You will learn that it is possible to have joy IN your situation that won't change even when you are not HAPPY WITH the situation itself.\n\nOur first interview or conversational podcast has my brother and partner in crime Norman Kissinger. He has a Masters in the subject of counseling, has decades of pastoral and para church ministry experience and is the husband of Sherry Kissinger they raised 10 kids together in Farmington Missouri.\n\n\nAs a supporting thought let me leave you with the full version of the serenity prayer which is chock full of insight regarding this issue of the stuck state.\n\nTheologian\xa0Reinhold Neibuhr\xa0was the actual author (he also did in fact claim credit for it).\xa0\xa0Niebuhr\xa0was a major influence on the German Pastor and Nazi resister,\xa0Dietrich Bonhoeffer.\n\nGod, give us grace to accept with serenity\nthe things that cannot be changed,\nCourage to change the things\nwhich should be changed,\nand the Wisdom to distinguish\nthe one from the other.\n\nLiving one day at a time,\nEnjoying one moment at a time,\nAccepting hardship as a pathway to peace,\nTaking, as Jesus did,\nThis sinful world as it is,\nNot as I would have it,\nTrusting that You will make all things right,\nIf I surrender to Your will,\nSo that I may be reasonably happy in this life,\nAnd supremely happy with You forever in the next.\n\nAmen.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\n\n________________________________________
