Smart, Capable… And Still Stuck? This Might Explain Why

Ever notice how some of the smartest people you know feel oddly… stuck? Not lazy. Not confused. Not lacking options. Just circling the same thoughts, decisions, and “I’ll deal with this later” conversations. This short article explores why capable, intelligent people get mentally stalled—and it’s probably not the reason you think. No hype. No coaching pitch. No “10 steps to fix your life.” Just a thoughtful read that might quietly put words to something you’ve been carrying. If you enjoy reflective writing, leadership insight, or moments where you think, “Oh. That’s uncomfortably accurate,” this is worth a few minutes. https://5g64.com/why-smart-leaders-stay-stuck/ (Warning: may cause unexpected clarity. Side effects include nodding slowly at your screen.)
