Sometimes it is hard to have new ideas.
For me it usually happens when things have stayed the same too long,
I get stuck in a rut.
The thing about ruts, is they channel a wheel to stay on one course.
The sides of the rut reinforce the direction of travel.
They provide resistance to changing course.
They keep things the same.
But when I hit an open field, I can go any direction I want.
The field is unconstraining, ready to be explored.
I find adventure and new capabilities in my exploration.
It may feel uncomfortable to have my rut guides on either side of my wheel,
But something new opens up for me and I start to see things differently.
Have you been stuck in a rut? How did you get out?
