Dooley Noted: 8/8/2014 Being Stuck I am currently boarded for a flight that experienced 30 total hours of delays. I saw some interesting things in that time. From bloated truths, to exhaustion and frustration, the rainbow of human emotions ran their courses. It was 4 AM in LA when we found we were going nowhere. We were stuck. We had no control. As my co-passengers slept in airport chairs, I took off my shoes and started scooting across the freshly waxed floor. I thought about how I havent done that in what seemed like years. The vastness of the airline terminal made me feel almost like I was in a wide open space made just for me. When you are stuck, you can stagnate and let anger brew. Ive done it recently. It doesnt feel good Or, you can sprint like a gazelle past sleeping passengers and empty gates. You can skid in your socks across waxed floors, like in Risky Business. It feels pretty good. It felt like the opposite of being stuck. I completed three projects Id been putting off for months. Again, I got unstuck. Making the best of what you have might just be the secret to happiness. Happiness might be feeling unstuck even when the world get sticky. As always, its your call. - Dr. Kathy Dooley drdooleynoted/being-stuck/
