You Get What You Need NOT What You Want!

I think some people try to take this life for granted. They are always wanting more, they never stop to take a look at what they do have. For instance, I have clean, fresh air to breath in. Freedom to do whatever I choose. I have a roof over my head. Food in my cupboards. Heat to warm my house. A bed to lay in at night. These are all things that we seem to take for granted, day in and day out! Which as I am sure you can all agree too, it is not right. We should be grateful for these things as others may not have any of the above.

As you grow up, the ignorance between the wants and needs in life will finally begin to make much more sense to you! You will understand that you will not always get in life what you want when you want it but rather, when you need it! (e.g. that awesome promotion at work, the baby you've been wishing for, that significant other, a new home, landing that amazing job, etc.) It may take weeks, months, years and years of stress, discouraging moments and even heartache, but your life is exactly how it is supposed to be right at this very moment.

Recent experiences in my own life have caused me to question, why exactly I can't get what I want right now. I have been working extremely hard. I have been doing everything I should be doing. I have been helping others find their happiness, yet what I want has not yet been given to me. I know that it will be ok though. I have came to terms with there being a plan in place for everything in life. God has given me this life because he knows I can handle it. He knows that I will be a fighter and never give up!

No matter what you may be going through in life, know that there are people out there that wish they had what you have. Stop focusing on the things you don't have and start enjoying the things you do have. This thing we call life, we only get one shot at it. There is no trial run, no second chance... this life is a one time deal. You have to make the most of it and enjoy the blessings. Whenever it is meant to happen, and it will happen, you will totally understand!

If you are struggling with coming to terms with recent experiences in life, I want to invite you to be a part of a community of uplifting and inspiring individuals! Individuals who have helped me realize some of the above! I don't always find happiness with why the things I want have not yet been given to me, but I know there is a plan. Know that it is ok to be frustrated, but don't dwell on it. For more information, please email me at stephainemcclintock@gmail.com or fill out the form below!
