A Fail Proof Way for Getting What We Want

It might be great if the government passed laws that mandated we sit down and have an eye-to-eye conversation with let’s say–at bare minimum–three other humans each day.

It might be great if there was an app that kept our cell phones off until we spent some quality time with our family and friends.

But the real gap between what we want, in our sanest moments, and what we actually do…can only be bridged by us.

Relying on the wishes and yearnings that circle through our heads in the moments before we fall asleep won’t change the amount of connectivity in our lives.

Counting up what we don’t have, who doesn’t hang out with us or who doesn’t stay in touch, doesn’t help either. It just wastes time wanting…when we could be doing.

Getting What We Want

If we want to build a better world where people feel welcomed, cared for and connected, we can’t get hung up on the mere thought of it. We can’t get weighed down by idealism chained around our ankles.

The way for us to make the world a better place is to set aside distractions, make time for what really matters and get out there and stir good in the world.

Getting what we want in relationships, like any other area in life, usually hinges on our ability to get off our rumps and do the work to get it.
