Summary

Feeling stuck is universal—whether you’re at the top of your game or struggling to get momentum. Darren Hardy reminds us that the greatest threat isn’t failure—it’s settling into a place we don’t belong and convincing ourselves it’s “just the way it is.” The danger comes when you don’t recognize it. Could you be caught in the trap right now?

0:00.0	Welcome to Darren Daly on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day.
0:07.3	Here's your success mentor, Darren Hardy.
0:13.2	Do you feel stuck? It happens. It's human. We all get stuck from time to time.
0:20.2	Getting stuck is not a problem. Staying stuck is. And many people live there stuck most of their lives. Hey look, I know that change is painful. The growth in metamorphosis process of becoming all that you can is painful but nothing is as
0:39.6	painful as being stuck where you don't want to be and you know that it's not
0:45.5	where you should be psychologists will tell you nothing creates more
0:49.5	internal trauma than when what we do on the outside is less than we know we are capable of
0:56.5	on the inside. You know that you are sinning against your nature. You know that you are letting
1:03.4	yourself and everyone around you and your creator down. This gap between knowing and not doing is the cause of depression, anxiety, and even
1:14.6	more self-destructive thoughts and maybe actions. So why? Why do we know what to do,
1:22.3	but then not do it? Because we get stuck. And I want to repeat, getting stuck is nothing to be ashamed of.

Oh, and we will all continue to get stuck over and over again throughout our long and epic heroic journey. In fact, it's what makes our journey heroic. Fighting our way out of the muck, battling when the walls of
2:04.6	our rut threaten to become the walls of our coffin. Without battles, there are no heroes. Getting
2:11.1	unstuck over and over again will be the continual saga of battles to be waged and won throughout your epic journey.
2:20.3	So where does the battle begin?
2:23.3	What's your first act of warfare?
2:26.0	It's recognition and confession, seeing that you are stuck and admitting it.
2:31.8	Most people don't realize or acknowledge that they are stuck. Thus, they remain
2:36.2	so for months or years or decades or the rest of their life, which is tragic. It's
2:42.8	heartbreaking, and I would say it's a sin against their creator. High achievers, on the other
2:48.5	hand, learn to recognize the signs and quickly take the fast,
