protected from the perils of your own desires

imagine, for a moment, that every thing you ever desired in your life instantly became yours.

well, for starters thank God life didn’t play out that way because whew 😮‍💨

some of the shit we thought we wanted turned out to be, in hindsight, obviously not for us.

can you count on your hands how many times you’ve been protected from the perils of your own desires?

personally, i know i’ve dodged + been redirected from the harm of more than ten bullets 🙌🏾 so abundance + overflow of blessings is all i know because that’s all i’ve experienced.

what about you —

at this point in your life, are you able to reflect on what didn’t work out in your life + see it as a blessing in disguise?

today, appreciate how far you’ve come + how much you’ve overcome.

it’s not every day that we acknowledge a warrior when we see one, so let today be the day that you see you for the warrior that you are by acknowledging the challenges you’ve overcome + the growth that you’ve experienced.

what you desire may not always become an experience you get to live.

get comfortable with the fact that every desire ain’t meant to become your truth.

the origins of the desire deeply matter, fam.

superficial + ego based desires are fleeting + phony as they don’t reflect our true desires of the heart.

but what you hold in your heart space? 

those are the desires of the heart; those were given to each one of us when we started this life’s journey.

hold these desires close + believe that they are indeed happening for you.

allow yourself to live in the experiences those desires bring —

be free, 

be full of life,

be open to love, 

+ above all, simply be.

stop wishing life will happen for you + simply live your life, fam.

the desires of your heart are waiting for you to live them out in real time…

live.

be you, be dope!

journal prompt(s) for today:  

take a moment to write out the desires of your heart that have nothing to do with materialistic gains — what do you desire most in life? do you feel you are able to live out your desires today? if so, what are you doing to live them? if not, what do you believe you still need to get that ball rolling?
