A night of pleasure, mingled with a lifetime of struggle


Pleasure: The state or feeling of being pleased or gratified. A source of enjoyment or delight. Sensual gratification or indulgence. As I look back over my life I can pinpoint various moments that were turning points for me, both positive and negative. When I reflect back on what the common denominator was which caused me to have my negative turning points, I must honestly say that "curiosity" was the factor. Curiosity can be a key which moves you into various realms which can alter your destiny. Curiosity can lead you to unlock different entrances which should have never been unlocked. The things that are behind those entrances can be things that you should have never experienced at the time that you experienced them. There have been times where I only experienced something for one night, but the effect lasted much longer. There are mental, emotional, and physical struggles (urges) that must be taken into account when considering the aftermath of our actions. A night of pleasure for you can lead to a lifetime of struggle for someone else and vice versa. Until an individual comes into the realization that it is going to take a greater force than them to deliver them from their tainted past, than their struggle(s) will continue. When I committed my ways to Jesus my desires (cravings) changed. When you are driven by your unbridled desires you in turn become subjugated to your fetishes, cravings, pleasures , and desires which are only temporary. I just want to encourage you to consider your ways so that you can maximize the potential of your life.

I wish I had read this blog about a year ago. But I thank you for the effect it has for my future.
