There are times when we feel stuck.
When we wonder how to get better.
When there seems to be a dead end in front and no way but back.
When life is harder than expected.
When difficulty requires a new way of thinking.
When it's an uphill hike and you're exhausted.
And you don't have the right shoes.
Something has to change.

But this sort of change is hard.
This sort of change requires a choice.
Or perhaps a multitude of choices.

In times like these, the only way forward is better.

And at that point, we are responsible for our own development.
