Quote for today

"The pool of pleasure looks shallow from the surface but it is very deep. If you step into this pool, you will be going deeper and still think you are at the surface. In the pool, you will meet the desires of your flesh and without knowing it, you say goodbye to your life. There is always a voice of warning within you trying to prevent you from going into the pool or telling you to step out from it. If you are obedient enough, you will listen to this voice. Whether you have gone into the pool or you are still considering to go into the pool, find your way out of the pool and its surroundings. The pool is simply a place you enter and put your life on hold. By the time you come out from the pool, it may be difficult for you to cope with the life you will meet.
Pleasure has many pools: the pools of pride, greed, lust, envy and many more. Once you step into any of these pools, your life is not just stolen, your happiness in each pool is your destruction. Once you are destroyed, you will be released from the pool to go and wait for death or even kill yourself. Being inside the pool is the danger but being close to the pool is also dangerous. It is those that go closer to the pool that finally step in.
To enjoy this life, you need to step out from these pools and get into the free lands of humility, contentment, self-control and love. Whatever delays you, whatever steals your time, whatever makes you lazy, whatever makes you procrastinate, whatever takes you off your life of fulfillment could be a pool of pleasure. Step out and live your life."
