I know it's a tough situation. Sometimes words from the outside with universal relevance helps to look at your own situation a little clearer.
Especially when the words comes from someone who doesn't know your specific issue.
The principles in this case it what rings true and forces the need to face the reality.
Even though sometimes that recognition is not immediately acted upon. At least it's a step closer to doing what is needed to take action moving forward one way or another.
The fact of the matter is that in many cases there is not a single way to proceed but the single best action is to proceed. Make progress toward some goal.
Remaining in limbo NEEDING change is simply putting life on hold.
