Staying Present and Grounded: Embracing Your Current Reality
By: Jordan King
You know…..honestly? I’m tired of the wasting energy on idea of things that I can’t change. Tired of thinking about things that are unattainable. Tired of losing sleep over situations that don’t exist anymore; or honestly don’t even hold any kind of weight in this season of life that’s being lived right now. Especially blocking my own blessings or even not being ready to hold them because I’m tied to the past!
I’m ready to think and act on the reality manifesting RIGHT NOW. What is it that can be molded and shaped currently with just some effort, some patience and of course, a dab of creativity? Nothing but the Present!
Think of your ideal version of yourself. Your wants and needs, passions and dreams. All of that exists both within you and requires a level of manifestation for you to “see” this person. While lessons and memories of the past shape and guide you through life, it’s essentially impossible to create the person you want to become while weighed down by either the past or even regrets. The future is dependent on your ability to embrace your current reality.
The idea of grounding is all about building strong connections both within and outside of your own reality. Connecting back to self and staying true to what means the most to you (values, morals, principles). Now, the past being something negative, or even something that you would want to run away from, is by no means what I’m trying to get across. Almost like an anchor; the present is solid and here to keep you in check! Constantly living, growing and even learning. It is up to you to embrace all that is around you. Not only for your benefit, yet also for the benefit of others.
I’ve often found even in times of storms and strife, focusing on that in front of me, the present, which is here….often, brings a sense of comfort. Just knowing there is a level of control within the here and now that always exists is refreshing.
The road to self-confidence and control is long, yet worth the travel. Every day we’re faced with reminders and tethers that attempt to pull us back into ruts or non-constructive modes of thought. It may even seem inviting, not to have to be strong or trailblazing all the time. To step back from the fight and allow your dreams to go unrealized. That of course, would be an insult to the divine purpose you hold…so continue the mission because we’re all dependent on your passions.
Everything you’ve attained and accomplished in the future hinges on the kind of person you are, as well as the decisions you’re making today. That’s not to add any pressure to “doing the right thing”, just to provide perspective. You are allowed to wake up and change course. You are supposed to test and tinker YOUR process to see how things work for you in your universe. This is ultimately your book and you can choose or replace any character at will. While reclaiming your time and pen; don’t overlook the power you hold over your own outcomes!
