You Can't always get what you Want....

Mick Jagger. What a wonder he is! How timeless are the lyrics to the Stones' songs? And, I have this feeling that even if Mick has to use a walker, he'll still be performing these classics for years to come. "You can't always get what you want"........

If you can't "always get what you want" - maybe that's not such a bad thing? Did it ever occur to you that by not getting what you think you want is a good thing? Your angels know what is best, it's your own mindset that directs you to focus on what it is that you think that you want. Oh, here's a clue, too: Sometimes when we do get what we think we want, it really turns into a lump of coal.... it's at this time that I feel our angels are just standing by shaking their heads and saying "hey, we tried to guide you away from it".....

Ask yourself - is this what I really "want", OR - do I just really WANT it because it's so UNavailable to me? Most of the time, it's not "getting what we want" it's reaching for that which we can't have. The thrill of competition - winning the "prized trophy" - being able to tell another, "I won, you lost". Then the games really begin.

Love is not a prize to be won. Love is an emotion, a connection, an UNCONDITIONAL space. Love does not throw guilt trips, embrace jealousy, or manipulate. Love just IS.  You love someone you allow that person to BE. If that person doesn't return your love, it isn't a reflection on YOU, it isn't rejection of YOU, it's merely that person's state of being. You don't suddenly decide you "hate" because love isn't returned to you in the way that you expect. Love IS NO expectations.

That's my little sermon for today, folks. Make it a great TODAY - and a wonderful weekend! And, if you "can't get no satisfaction" - go find some!

Dear Jane:

Great blog and I so agree.  My Mom always told me to "be careful of what you wish for you may get it."  I recently attended a class reunion and got a good look at a guy we all drooled over and prayed to God that he would look our way and I think I know what my Mom meant!  Keep motivating us Jane and thanks for the insight.

Rosie, I remember a class reunion and the "guy we all drooled over" how fun! And, I looked at him and wondered "Jane, what WERE you thinking!?" I always hold to the notion that there are NO UNanswered prayers.... :-)

Sound advice.  And the cousin of "you can't always get what you want," is "be careful what you wish for."  :-)

Happy Anniversary, Jane.
