I had an important decision to make this weekend. I’d gone over it my head a million times, but I was still stuck. So I called an old friend, told him I needed some advice, and explained the situation. Just having someone else listen to what was on my mind was enough. He gave his advice, and it agreed with what I’d decided to do during the course of the conversation. Reaching out to people when you hit a wall is a great way to bust through it. We’ve all been there. Sometimes we just need a little empathy.

Another thing I often do when I’m stuck is sit down and make a pros and cons list. I’m usually surprised to see, once it’s put down on paper, that one side heavily outweighs the other. I’m often hung up on some small detail that isn’t very important in the big picture. Hearing validation from a friend or seeing it on paper can give you just the kick you need to get going.
