Being able to provide my family is the only thing that keeps me going forward but also the thing that keeps me in the hole. When you're good at something, you build your entire life around it, your people relations, your professional network, your job, your career, the city you move to to find better oportunities, the time invested into growth and learning... Everything is tailored based on that piece of "something" that set you apart from the rest and that let you into that door, and the next door, and the next until you (not always, but sometimes) get this feeling of "stuckness".
