Shalita Grant Instagram – How are you playing the cards you’re holding?

We all want what we don’t have. More money, longer hair, a legitimate growth spurt (that one was for me)… this is pretty human. What you do with that desire is a choice. Commonly, we fixate on the absence of what we want – for hours, days and for some of us, years. With the “If only’s”, “Why didn’t’s”, and “How come’s” to keep us company. This is making your desire a river. It flows away from you.
.
.
Another choice is celebrating the hand you have and turning your desire into a well. Learn to appreciate what is present and make the most of it. Cultivate gratitude for what is in your hands and decide that it is enough. And “enough” isn’t where your story ends.

For instance, I could complain about my vertical challenges, make fun of taller people but I don’t. (Ok, so I tried to google some jokes on tall people and they were either jokes where the punchline was on a short person 🤬 Or they were just stupid. #heightprivilege 🙄 I digress) Because I know that I have enough. I have enough height to reach the kitchen counter that I have enough strength to climb to reach the glasses inconveniently stored in the highest kitchen cabinets (🤬😌). You see what I did there? I am enough, I have enough – to do everything my heart desires.

Whatever challenges you face this week – you are enough. So make magic out of the cards you’re holding ✨
