How to Get Unstuck: The Power of One Simple Word

Ever feel like you’re stuck in a rut, trapped by your own limitations, or just unsure how to move forward? Maybe you’re asking “how do I get unstuck?” or “I just need a breakthrough!”

You’re not alone.

Maybe you’ve been spinning your wheels, trying to figure out your next steps, only to feel more frustrated and overwhelmed. You know deep down you’re made for more, but the path forward feels blurry.

But what if I told you that one tiny word could completely shift your perspective and help you break free? That word is “yet.”

Sounds simple, right? But don’t underestimate its power. When you start adding “yet” to your thoughts and words, you open up a whole new world of possibility. Here’s how this small shift can help you get unstuck and start moving toward the life God has called you to.

Reframing Limitations: Shift from “I Can’t” to “I Can…Yet”

We all hit moments of doubt. Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking:

• “I don’t know how to start my business.”
• “I can’t stay consistent with my Bible study.”
• “I don’t have the confidence to share my story.”

Now, try adding one small word: yet.

• “I don’t know how to start my business…yet.”
• “I can’t stay consistent with my Bible study…yet.”
• “I don’t have the confidence to share my story…yet.”

See the difference? That one word shifts your thinking from limitation to possibility. Instead of closing the door, you’re keeping it open for growth, learning, and transformation.

Embracing a Growth Mindset: You’re Not Stuck—You’re Learning

The word “yet” is a game-changer because it flips your mindset from fixed to growth-focused. Instead of believing you’re stuck where you are, you start seeing yourself as someone who is learning, improving, and stepping into new possibilities.

This shift is biblical too. Philippians 1:6 says, “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” That means your story isn’t over! You’re becoming, evolving, and stepping into something greater.

Opening the Doors to Possibilities: Your Breakthrough is Closer Than You Think

When you add “yet” to your thoughts, you start expecting change instead of fearing it. You begin to believe that just because you haven’t figured it out yet, doesn’t mean you never will. It creates momentum, invites God into the process, and opens your heart to His direction.

Instead of:
“I haven’t seen my breakthrough.”
Try:
“I haven’t seen my breakthrough…yet.”

Instead of:
“I don’t have clarity in my calling.”
Try:
“I don’t have clarity in my calling…yet.”

Faith thrives in expectation, and when you shift your words, you shift your faith.

Cultivating Resilience: Keep Going, Even When It’s Hard

If you feel like you’ve tried and failed a hundred times, you’re not alone. Getting unstuck isn’t about perfection—it’s about persistence.

Using “yet” keeps hope alive. It reminds you that failure isn’t final. It’s just a stepping stone.

• You haven’t figured out how to balance life and faith…yet.
• You haven’t overcome your self-doubt…yet.
• You haven’t built the life you’re dreaming of…yet.

But you’re on your way.

Celebrating Progress: Small Wins Matter

Sometimes we get so focused on what we haven’t achieved that we miss how far we’ve already come. The word “yet” is a reminder to celebrate the small wins:

✔ The prayers you have prayed.
✔ The steps you have taken.
✔ The growth you have experienced.

Every bit of progress counts, even when it feels slow.
