What is your own personal truth that keeps you grounded in life?

Mines is truly knowing thou self and understanding that patterns never lie.

This is a plague that I have on my desk to keep me grounded

Your thoughts they become your words
Your words they become actions
Your actions they become your habits
Your habits they become your character
Your character they become your destiny.

It's more like a light in a dark tunnel like a guide because life will always make you sway.

My perfect analogy is in the Matrix when the key master was trying to get to the end of the hallway to get back to the real reality but all of the other doors in the hallway were the fantasy that we all can get caught up in can you make it too the end of the hall without getting lost. As a Pisces we love getting lost but not into the abyss.

Humbleknight I guess it just depends on the person we are Pisces but are not all of the same essence and vessels. I definitely can get lost in my mind but I can also be very grounded as well when I need to be. I think that only comes from my time with GOD though he can snap you up out of anything if you give him your time.

Nemilicious for me grounded means seeing clearly and being able to step out of the fantasy if only for a moment. Like when I was in school recently you can't go to school and have your mind chasing the wind or you will fail you have to be about to be grounded enough to take in the lesson and to retain information.

Being out of touch with reality can be very scary because you can get lost and not everyone comes back it is a choice to staying ground like it is a choice to get lost. I don't really like my job either so I am constantly in self preservation mode but I also don't want to be in a delusion. Your family tides is a good things we all need a support system. To me once you see the true essence of being grounded it very scary getting caught up in a full on illusion because it is meant to keep you bound.

I understand everything that you are saying we all naturally can off and adapt to any atmosphere especially our world I love my world because it is pure and just right for me meaning my mind. I love swimming it is so serine and makes me feel like a true fish being healed by the water.

Try to rationalize the situation before you let your emotions take over and make a big mistake or bad judgment.

Pisces merc problems. That whole sentence was botched lol.

Pretty much I try not to take everything personal.

I don't have children of my own but do have a child that I love and care for, children essence are really pure and loving. You have your glaze of haze naturally so having a family is nice. I know that I desperately need a vacation and some different scenery in my life right now. A real life fantasy that is very tangible.

When I try to be grounded in any way, life pushes me over as bad as possible.

yeah this is normal. Pisces are the spawn of chaos, it is a luck to have this intimate knowledge that entropy always prevails.
You must work on perfecting your systems and your techniques to get stronger but don't become a subordinate to any of them.

I am never grounded lol...

Ditto 🙂 Our sign represents a constant tug o war. Need I say more—

In this day and age I think a lot of people feel the unbalance of the tug or war especially once you get out of the young adult state and have some real life responsibilities. My hardest tug a war is in the work place where people constantly gel there work and management professionalism with their personal perceptions and everyday attitudes. I am here to work but not to fit your personal preference everyone is a micro-manager and a power abuser these days. I definitely have to get into my Pisces zone 50% reality and fantasy zone to deal with the constant BS and low ethics and integrity that I encounter in the workforce. As a Pisces we like to be enhance and used efficiently not in mediocrity.

I boldly echo these sentiments. I even made the novice mistake of being honest to an employer by voicing this.

My truest foundation for balance is to stay true to my natural ability to function, thrive, and prosper in chaos. With this I achieve what I feel is a more piscean sense of being grounded. By Accepting, owning and being responsible for my nature I enhance what works for me to be grounded. I find people are so concerned with getting others to conform to their standard responsibility, but practically speaking I get things done and am "grounded" in a way that functions organically for me.

My faith gives me balance. Look around be depressed, look within be distressed, look to Jesus and be at rest.

I have a piece of paper stapled to the wall by my desk that says:

1. Live today as if it were your last
2. Breath, think, breath again, and DO!
3. If you don't like it, change it.
4. Love conquers all.
5. There's nothing wrong with asking for help.
6. You've done enough....go home and rest.
7. I don't feel like slaying dragons today.

I was an abused and unloved child. It made me an angry bitter young adult. Once I became a mom at 25, I adopted a wat of thinking that opened my heart. I repeat this to my daughters incessantly

With clean hands and a pure heart, I am love. I don't take more than I can give. I don't hurt others because I'm hurt and I go after everything I want like madness is chasing me.

When I die I want this written on my tombstone in past tense

Sorry to hear that I am good with staying neutral most of the time because I am human but I have learned over the years that hurt people always hurt others. It hard not to be jaded when you constantly experience things that are unnecessary but no one can define the condition of your heart. It also hard being mature about situations as well meaning taking the high road or being the bigger person because people view it as a weakness and only understand drama and confrontation.

For me it was much more painful to stay in painful situations rather than just create the life I want. Figure life is the high I'm chasing and bs is just going to ruin it. I'm very selective who I let in and I'm actually very forgiving. Mainly because I can't occupy that space. I cut negative things and people out mercilessly

To dwell on the past and the future constantly are bound illusions all you really have is the power of now. I have to learn this when dwelling on the past of the abandonment of my father not being in my life.

THIS...Your habits they become your character

I once had a bad habit that I changed and that took a lot of will power.. I am prideful about my character, how I carry myself is important to me

okay, i see what you mean. i don't think i have this pisces trait as much as i did when i was a child. my escapes are in reading, music and drawing and sleeping. but it's easy for me to 'snap' out of it, i have a demanding job and family who rely on me. as a baby fish though, lack of concentration and shyness in school were a real threat, but my cappy mom yanked me out of that mode pronto. and now it scares me to be out of touch with reality.

I agree not all Pisces share that fantasy trait...my outlet is music, movies and books
