Get What You WantJune 8, 1997
St Kilda East.I've been thinking over the past couple of days how, if you put your mind to it, you can get what you want. I often find that when things are really going well for me it's due to a combination of things, but ever present is a want, or desire, or an intention to get something. The convergance of maintaining a level of treating myself and others well, being part of an environment where I feel useful and fulfilled, and wanting something.
I think it is the focus of knowing what you want, and a mindset and shift in approach that allows you to get it.
I shy away from calling it a goal or an achievement. Because usually I don't do anything, I just want something that is realistic, keep it ever present in the back of my mind, and let things happen. For me this seems to work, and I frequently do end up getting what I want.
I'm not talking about material objects or revenge or wins in a raffle, but things like getting a job that I want, making sure that I am considered, that I appear in the best light, that because of my mindset all of the necessary factors are in place and functioning so that when the time comes I am all prepared and prompted, so I can just go forth and claim that which I wanted.
This all sounds a little airy fairy, and recording it here now it sounds even more so. Yet when I revealed this to someone I work with, who was struggling with a few life choices and burning wants in her life, it was like a light bulb went on in her head, and she later emailed me with thanks for switching that light on.
I mean this isn't an everyday occurence here, there are long stretches of never getting what I want, of feeling opressed and depressed and just a general drought in the having wants met department.
I just remember that famous line, "You can't always get what you want, but you always get what you need" Thanks Mr Jagger.
