Be 100% Present

I've always been a day dreamer. In fact, day dreaming often gets in the way of school. I remember being in math and hearing how to start the problem, zoning out, and then realizing that my teacher had just explained how to solve the problem. 

I am still a day dreamer. Sometimes I forget to enjoy the present because I am thinking of my future. In Play Theory there is a principle about being 100% present. I struggle with this principle a lot. I use to think that this only applied to my daily conversations and the time I spend in play theory each Tuesday. Well, I recently discovered that being 100% present is important in my relationships AND emotions. There are moments when I am perfectly content with my whole life. There are no worries. Then I hear or read something and my dream is pulled away from me. Reality starts to crash down and I realize that my dreams might not come true. What? Disney has been leading me astray my whole life? 

These are the moments I'm most thankful for. When I am feeling low, struggling, and realizing that I don't have as much control in my life as I thought. Because in those moments I am able to receive comfort that everything will be alright.  My Father in Heaven knows my needs more than I do. He knows what struggles, victories, and people in my life to get back to  heaven. I am often awe-struck with how much faith Heavenly Father has in me to let me struggle and ask questions. I LOVE when I get to pray for comfort, guidance, and love because I get to be 100% present with my Heavenly Father. When I do receive an I'm humbled because I realize that I'm not alone in my adventure. 

Tonight I had a sinking feeling. I realized that for the first time I'm being 100% present in a relationship and I could possibly get hurt. That's when the doubts and fears enter into my head. Is it worth the hurt I'll feel if things don't work out the way I dreamed? Can I actually handle the trials I might have to go through? However, when I started to feel down my roommate said, "Do not worry. Things will work out the way they are suppose to." Thank goodness for my angels, who also happen to be my roommates. I'm amazed at how all of my roommates are 100% present with guidance from the spirit and how I have been blessed by them. They have been answers to my prayers. 

After my roommate said to not worry, I felt peace. It's true, everything will work out how it's suppose to. I'm so glad that I'm being 100% present in my relationship. Why? Because it is definitely worth putting my feelings on the line. I know that I am right where I need to be. I receive that confirmation multiple times on a daily basis. 

I've definitely been able to see the benefit of being 100% present in my relationships and emotions. I do still day dream but a lot of the time reality is even better than my dreams. Yes, I can actually say that.
