Self-motivation, action key to getting yourself out of career, relationship or life limbo

Many people feel trapped or shrunk and have tried everything they know but things remain constant about any future change. They expected their actions would prevent the disaster from happening; only to sit back and watch it happen before their eyes.

And the feeling of being stuck descends on them - in a marriage, spiritual limbo, career, job, finances, business, relationship, residential area, etc. There is a tendency to give up on seeking ways to improve their situation and choose to just sit back and do nothing about it. If your car got stuck in the mud, would you abandon it or call people to help you push it out?
