Why do we get stuck in life? The hidden karmic perspective

Ever wondered why certain struggles keep repeating in your life? Why you always seem to attract the same kind of toxic relationships, financial troubles, or career failures? The answer might be deeper than you think.

Editor's pick: 5 powerful astrology-based business tips for entrepreneurs & startups

1️⃣ The psychological perspective
Psychologists suggest that feeling stuck often comes from:

  • Fear of change – We stay in situations that no longer serve us because they feel familiar.

  • Limiting beliefs – Thoughts like “I’m not good enough” create invisible barriers.

  • Overthinking – Analysis paralysis stops us from taking action.

2️⃣ The karmic perspective
In spiritual terms, feeling stuck is often a sign of unresolved karmic cycles.

  • Karma isn't punishment; it is a lesson. If you're facing the same problems repeatedly, the universe is nudging you to learn and grow.

  • Your past actions shape your present reality. The choices we made (or avoided) in the past contribute to our current struggles.

  • Unhealed wounds attract similar situations. Until we consciously break the cycle, we unconsciously keep repeating it.

🔹 Rahul, a 35-year-old entrepreneur, found himself failing in business despite his hard work. After deep reflection, he realised he had a deep-rooted belief that "money is evil"—something he had unconsciously absorbed in childhood. Once he started shifting his mindset and healing that belief, his financial situation transformed.


What does rock bottom teach us? The strength in suffering

Nobody wants to struggle. But suffering often brings the greatest wisdom.

Think about it: Every inspiring comeback story has a low point.

  • Steve Jobs was fired from his own company before creating Apple’s greatest innovations.

  • Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison before leading his country to freedom.

The difference? They embraced their struggle as a lesson, not a life sentence.

The science of resilience: How your brain rewires after setbacks

Studies show that resilience is not a fixed trait; it is something you can build. When we face adversity and overcome it, our brain forms new neural pathways that make us mentally stronger.

💡 Key Insight: Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” ask, “What is this trying to teach me?”


How can spirituality guide you in hard times?

Spirituality isn’t about religion—it’s about connecting with something greater than yourself.

🔹 It gives perspective (your problems are temporary).
🔹 It provides inner peace (you are more than your struggles).
🔹 It strengthens faith (trusting that things will work out).

I personally found that when I stopped resisting change and started trusting the process, life became easier. The more I aligned with my spiritual path, the more clarity I gained.

Now, let us explore three powerful spiritual ways to find direction.


How can you find direction in life? 3 powerful spiritual practices

1️⃣ Practicing stillness: The art of tuning into yourself

In a world that glorifies busyness, we rarely stop to ask: “What do I really want?”

🔹 Silence reveals answers. Meditation, deep breathing, and mindful solitude help us connect with our inner wisdom.
🔹 Famous example: Albert Einstein credited his greatest discoveries to moments of stillness.
🔹 Try this: Spend 10 minutes daily in complete silence. Observe your thoughts. Clarity will come.


2️⃣ Learning the lessons of your past: Understanding karmic cycles

Ever feel like life keeps sending the same problems your way? That is karma at work.

🔹 How to break karmic cycles:
✔️ Reflect on past struggles—what patterns do you see?
✔️ Journal about the biggest lessons you have learned.
✔️ Practice forgiveness (yourself and others).

Once you embrace the lesson, the cycle stops repeating.


3️⃣ Aligning with your true purpose: The spiritual path to fulfilment

🔹 Feeling lost often means you're not aligned with your soul's purpose.
🔹 How to find your purpose:
✔️ What excites you?
✔️ What makes you lose track of time?
✔️ What do people often seek your advice for?

When you align with your soul’s calling, life starts flowing effortlessly.


How can you turn rock bottom into your greatest comeback?

🔹 Shift your mindset: Rock bottom isn’t an end—it is a restart.
🔹 Seek guidance: Coaches, mentors, and spiritual teachers can help you gain clarity.
🔹 Surround yourself with growth-minded people.

📌After my lowest point, I started exploring spirituality and coaching. That single decision changed my life. Now, I help others do the same.


Your hard times don’t define you, your strength does

No matter what you are going through, remember: You are stronger than your struggles.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...
