Have you ever been stuck in a good place?

It took me about 12 years to get where I needed to be, spiritually speaking, and after I got there, I didn't want to leave. I kind of created a monastery of sorts for myself and I felt very safe and comfortable.

However, when I was presented with a new challenge, the voice that led me to my desired destination was warning me to stay away, but I soon realized that this same voice that acted as my guide for so long was now getting in the way of new growth.

So I told the voice to go away, found a new one and rose to the challenge. I immediately embraced this challenge and embraced the results. Never again will I be satisfied with spiritual complacency. From now on I will always yearn for more tests. I never want to be stuck in a good place again.

My life is changing, it's fun. I love change, ask anyone.

When you're in a good place, you're not "stuck", you're pausing. Maybe you're refueling. Maybe you're savoring. Maybe you're exactly where you need to be before the next "test". Wherever you are, well, there you are. When you are ready, you will move, or be moved. No need to judge it.

Thought 1: I’ve been stuck in a good place for about 5 months. It’s not because of easiness of life or complacency. It’s the exact opposite. For about 3 years I was in this place where I wasn’t growing. When life hit me hard, I was apathetic to it. These past 5 months I’ve been choosing to grow in my character. I’m fighting the easiness of apathy. It’s been amazing to see how much growth I’ve done and it feels amazing.
Thought 2: Sometimes complacency is a needed rest. Life takes a toll on us and if there is a point when we have the opportunity to be complacent, there is a recovery opportunity and that’s not wrong.

I don't think complacency is necessarily a "good place". comfortable, maybe, but not good. ;-)

Mentally, I think right now I'm in a good place. f*ck man, I'm the calmest I've ever been in my entire life. I'm wearin' purple f****n' bunny slippers right now. That's how chill I am.

Spirituality I'm alright. I'm not exactly stuck in a good place, I'm grateful that God chose to keep me alive and I can stand on my own. But I'm still bitterly angry at him.

I've been stuck in a good place, almost always actually.

Too bad I never realize it until I'm no longer in it.

it's an interesting idea, but i don't think anyone should be stuck in a good place for too long. what's the point of always being happy? you have to have those S****y days so you can appreciate the great ones. that doesn't mean you can't always be optimistic, but you should always be testing the limits of your soul. see if you can get through the worst of times, because then, everything won't be so bad.

IDK, I am in quite a good place now. But I don't have some conflicting voice testing me with a lie to see how solid I am saying, "Go away", lol...

(NOT that is your case, just considering my own life and how sometimes when we get to where we have tried to be with someone, who themselves led us there, they can then test us and see if we are really going to stay or leave...)

Pretty common human behavior, actually.

Hmm, that's a great insight. I often avoid going out or making plans because I don't feel like "dealing with people" for that very reason. I am afraid it may disrupt the good vibe.

I once had an orgasm that lasted a realllllly long time. Well, that was being stuck in a GREAT place.

No, I have never been that fortunate.
