What do I want?
You can't always get what you want
and if you try sometimes you find
you get what you need Rolling Stones
What we want is one thing. What we get is usually is something else. What we get may not be what we want, especially at that moment. Most of us at some point said I want a million dollars, anyone instantly get it, probably not.
In life, like it or not we get what we need. We may not know why at that time, but over time we may begin to figure out why. I have a list of the things I want, I wish were true, some of it is and some of it is not. I want my marriage to work, to get better. I want my wife to turn to me tell me, and tell how much she loves me, how much she believes in our marriage, that she is 100% committed to making this work. I have been trying to get what I want. I now need to reflect and accept that what I get is what I need. I may not understand it now, but over time I hope I will. If I have the courage to keep looking at myself in the mirror and working on me I will be able to learn for this. I will become a stronger person. Thats not to say I will not experience great pain along the way, but that pain is pain of growth, of learning.
In time that pain will diminish. I will have new experiences. I will have new wants that right now I cant even imagine what they may be. My list will change, some will remain the same. Why dont we get what we want, because we get what we need.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
But nicely said and just might be the truth.
You hit the nail on the head. Tired of taking what I need. Sick of being Happy with it. I am "released" to look for what I Want.
