What Do You Want?

Shaun Bradford

I found this image in my March 15, 2021 journal entry. (See “I Woke Up Like This” for context.)

“How can you get what you want, if you don’t know what you want?”

Deep, right?

That day (March 15, 2021), I made a list of things I wanted for my business. However, several weeks ago, when I asked myself the same question, I answered it based on my core values and what I wanted most from life.

I have to agree with Michael Baisden. We’ll never get what we want if we don’t know what we want.

Just a little food for thought.

That one entry had soooo many gems. I’ll leave you with this quote from Bishop T. D. Jakes (also included in the entry)—

“God has positioned you for purpose.”

Actually, he said to write it down, so I did.

I am positioned for purpose.

YOU are positioned for purpose.

We were not created just to exist. No, we were created to fulfill a purpose. We’re already positioned to do so, so let’s move accordingly.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Woke Up Like This

I decided to go check out what I was doing the day I shared the quote above (March 15, 2021), and now I’m bawling. I began my journal entry with this—

“Today’s Monday. I turned in my letter of resignation on Friday.”

Y’all, I had just taken one of the biggest leaps of my life, and that was to bet on me!!!

I am so proud of myself for taking that leap. I had no idea what life would be like afterwards. I just heard God say it was time, and I moved. Whew!!

I didn’t expect to find all this when I searched my photos for the image above. I just kept hearing, “I woke up like this.” Who knew one image could hold so much meaning. That entire journal entry has me in tears. I did that!! Now, here I am, almost four years later, still doing what I love. Y’all, that was one of the best decisions I ever made, and I did it unafraid. I had absolutely no clue what was to come, and I was completely at peace when I did it, not one ounce of fear or anxiety. That’s how I knew God was in it.

When I tell you God is sooooooo amazing!! So amazing!

Yes, I woke up like this…BLESSED!

Thank you for reading. I pray you woke up feeling the same—Blessed.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Loves

Good Morning!☀️

Today, I am dedicating my first post to my two loves, my hearts—my daughter and son. Never in a million years did I think two wonderful beings could come from me. By no means are they perfect, but they’re perfect for me. Watching them grow from infancy to adulthood has been the honor of my life. I love the people they’ve become. And a bonus is they love me. They actually love me. Y’all, their love is a gift I will always treasure. I am blessed, so very blessed.♥️

Shaun

They’re mine.♥️♥️
