tłumaczę list motywacyjny - jakoś nie mogę nic odpowiedniego wymyślić na to "stanie w miejscu". Don't like stagnation? :)

be in a rut


Explanation:
or: stuck in a rut

Just an idea ;)

Dictionary: be (stuck) in a rut
to do the same things all the time so that you become bored, or to be in a situation where it is impossible to make progress
At forty my life was in a rut, so I gave up work and travelled to India. It's clear the economy is still stuck in a rut.
