MOVING AND STOPPING

We are often told that the worst thing in life is to stop advancing, because this means stagnation and all progress stops. The best thing is to continue forward, even if slowly. There is credence to this teaching. I wonder, can you only see stagnation in the act of stopping? Repose is better than collapse, and stopping to reflect is better than moving with no direction. Nature is our wise teacher, and observing nature we see that there is often a pause before tremendous growth. If your life is feeling sidelined or stalled, and there seems to be no progress, shift your perspective. Perhaps life is giving you a pause before tremendous growth.
