Today is a wonderful day for taking a run – cool, cloudy and dry. So I jogged on the Danube island in Vienna. A bit cool in the beginning, but after half an hour my body was warmed up.

That’s when I saw the dark blue water and I felt the urge to swim.

I wanted to feel immersed in the water and feel it streaming over my bare skin.

I stopped, checked the water temperature and hesitated. No surprise there 🙂

Instead of turning away, I remembered to follow my desires.

I got naked, stepped down the ladder into the cool water – and waited a bit… before letting go of the railing and sinking into the clear water.

It wasn’t a long swim, but that doesn’t matter.

What matters is that I followed my pleasure of feeling the water surrounding me.

Pleasure-led experiences don’t need to be conventionally pleasurable, but they need to come from your inner desire.

When did you recently follow your inner desire? What was it?
