Abstract
Remaining in the status quo (non-movement) is likely counterproductive. Stasis can be defined as the state of stagnation or inactivity. Fixations can result in lost opportunities and lead to problems. Humans do not usually go about their lives in a straightforward trajectory. Things happen to sway us from our chosen paths. For example, temptations interfere with conservative thinking. The challenge of ordinary life may extinguish the fun out of life if we are unprepared and find insufficient antidotes to counteract the external pressures. Our worldview is often clouded by suppositions based on false information (i.e., fear that debilitates). We get locked up, refusing to consider options regardless of the source of suggestion. Like an onion being peeled, the layers of complication must be allowed to drift away, leaving the person exposed to resolve conflict and handle opportunities more fully engaged in a more authentic self-image. Pride of accomplishment can then occur when the person, stripped of falsity, begins to transcend into a truer person. In the human, fear is learned at a very early age. Fear can be overcome be facing it head-on and through the guiding help of a coach or therapist. Unlocking the root of any fear becomes the challenge. Often, we engage in ideas or impressions of the world around us. This can be due to fear or from lack of confidence. Planning and preparation are the best antidotes to combat such self-defeating images and serve well to remove the fear of failure. Asking someone for coaching can help improve focus and steer us from straying too much. The key is that when the stakes are higher the effort must be commensurate to the task. Perhaps, then, one of the most important aspects of the help we can give other human beings is encouragement to develop themselves to become better, brighter, more aware, and increasingly capable to withstand the mighty challenges ahead. One of the dilemmas faced by people who attempt to reach goals that are perceived to be difficult is the haunting notion of the amount of time needed to complete the goal or the relative effort necessary. Finding ways and techniques to get through challenging situations equates to resilience in the individual. The key to forging a successful segmentation of the dilemma is maintaining a consistent positive attitude with focus always moving forward.
