Stuck, "Shucked" and Getting Unstuck

Expert Author Joshua Clayton
I once heard an old spiritual that went: "If you get out of your place too soon, God will cut you down." Well, when I write about getting unstuck, I am also writing about the reasons for being stuck. Recently (a few hours ago), I faced a situation where I was held back and stuck in a place where I did not want to be. I will only say for myself and probably you if you are facing the same thing: Be patient and strong and accept the lesson the situation is teaching. The situation is temporary, but the lesson if accepted right is learned forever with strong memory and understanding.
Sure, I could offer the standard advice of work through it without saying "accept the lessons" or "genuinely understand the reasons" and let the reader (or even myself) continue to think that it is just a random and common aggravation that is not needed, wanted or realistically necessary. Indeed, though, I beg to differ in so many ways that count that are necessary yet those so many ways are united by one thing and one thing only: Getting a hold and understanding of the situation fully, and rising above it instead of lamenting about how unfair and foolish life can be. I fully understand that is the "hard way" of doing things, and living. If you really want to get through something, that is the only way to do it. The easy way is just to give up and not learn anything or understand the causes anyhow. Taking the easy way out makes you more likely to get stuck again in the same situation until you genuinely learn the causes genuinely and rise above the situation, yourself.
After all, survival comes through strength you develop from within the deepest part of your spirit to the outer world, not the other way around. The other way around meaning doing outer things thinking that they will solve any problem genuinely, permanently and realistically.
For everything, there is a reason and a reality that needs to be faced, understood and conquered, usually in that order: Faced, understood and conquered. We face reality, fully understand reality and finally fully conquer it when we understand fully how to deal with it. Usually, it all works like a force of nature. I will not say "happens like a force of nature" because it is purely our choice to face reality or not face reality to start where it all begins.

I also write under a few pen-names and aliases, but Joshua Clayton is my real name, and I write by that for the most part now. I am a philosophical writer and objective thinker and honest action taker. I also work at a senior center in Gardena, California as my day job, among other things, but primarily I am a writer.
