Get Grounded

Every now and again, I find myself getting carried away with my own thoughts.  I have a tendency to catastrophize and even "mind read" when I don't know what's around the corner in my life (which, let's face it, is quite often).  It's my controlling side rearing its ugly head again.

This is why I'm SO thankful for the grounding elements in my life (my family and few friends).  I've been struggling with a few things lately... "who can I truly trust?  who is with me for a season?  Etc."

I find that this is why Grounding is such an important part of my life in this journey.  Sometimes we have the propensity to allow things/ people to divert us from our paths just because we fall into the moments that they create and travel (even if only for a moment) down the path that they dictate through their actions.  This is not heading in the direction towards the destiny that HE has provided.

Today... ground yourself... get back to your reality and not that of those around you.  Focus on where you are currently and accept this minute for what it is.  From there, use the clarity to look at those around you...

• Are they helping you on your path?
• Are you a better or worse form of yourself in their presence?
• Do they help you grow?

Depending on your responses, you will know what to do.  However, I encourage you to treat the situation with kindness, because we are not all on the same level when it comes to self awareness or even maturity (for lack of better word).  Never allow anyone or anything to bring you down to a lesser version of yourself, always aim for the higher ground when possible. 

Sorry, I'm trailing off again...


*Becoming the change you wish to see requires focus and is not always easy, but as I've said before... It's not about being easy, it's about being necessary*

Peace and blessings
