Aug-QUEST

this morning I prayed for protection.

I don't feel like I am in any danger, but I feel the need to request coverage.

Lately, everyone seems to be attempting to figure out the best come-up for themselves, and I can foresee that selfish mindset breaking my heart down the line, so I prayed for protection.

Not so that things don't work in the favor of the selfish, but that I am protected in the process of them getting what they want out of life.  I want to live a no-smoke lifestyle.  I don't want any problems.

I am attempting to live a life of following what feels good.  

Lately, I've been wondering where I learned that you had to suffer through this life.  Where did I learn that bad times should be expected? Where did I learn that I should somehow avoid living in a constant state of fear all while expecting bad times?  How?

Recently, I've changed my perspective.  I expect good times.  The most wonderful things, I expect from life. 

I will do my best to prepare for those times that don't feel good, but I will not expect them.  I expect protection. I expect guidance.

The quest is freedom.  

That's my treasure, and I am on a quest to find it.  I will be protected, just as I have always been guided.
