Can't Always Get What You Want
There have been times in my life when, Thank God - I didn't get what I wanted.
Now of course, in the moment there may have been some feelings of disappointment or upset, especially if it was something I really had my heart set on.
But the reality is… we sometimes project ourselves onto these desires outside of our heart, claiming them as personal wants, with thoughts like “I must have this thing” or “I won't be complete without it.”
This can result in us missing the truth that sometimes the thing we think we want, is not actually what we truly need.
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about how not always getting everything we ask for can sometimes be a blessing in disguise.
When we start to get emotionally “addicted” or attached to something and begin to act desperate for it, that’s usually a sign that something is at work and it’s not our highest self.
Sometimes we need to just calm down, take a step back and wait for the directional download to come to us. It doesn’t need us to pull it in.
Clawing our way towards something that isn’t meant for us isn’t super helpful, so let’s do our best to make a shift toward gratitude and patience and together see what incredible, next steps it brings.
