Found your ground?

"Found your ground? (You may need to) find your ground before you venture off.

In life, it can be easy to lose your ground, as you see so many things around you and feel pressured and expected to be someone or have something. Thoughts like "am I good enough? should I be like this or have that?" arise to triggers you to explore.

Changes is good, but the problem of being overly fickle is that it's easy to lose yourself whilst venturing off without grounding yourself. There are some of us who would easily fall for that mistake because some of us would trade ourself to win for our petty egos without realising it or do so intentionally. As time goes by, it would drive a person crazy if they constantly change their mode, state of mind, persona, way of life, lifestyle etc... without having their own ground to stand on. Especially in a very multiculturally diverse place with various trends, social group etc... it is very easy to lose yourself.

The next question is how do you know your ground or natural/stable zone? I don't have a clear answer for that now, but I would assume it is different for everyone as everyone have their own different experiences and character.

I can only guess that it should be something that is natural to you, comfortable, stable and bring that sense of calmness and peace of mind. A sense of home?

But still, don't be rigid and fixed, as time goes by, you will change and so will your ground change, when your old ground for the new.
