I Got Them Moves Mick Jagger...

'You can't always get what you want.

But if you try sometime

You Might find...

You get what you need..."

~ Mick Jagger, The Rolling Stones

The title of today's post is tongue-in-cheek shot at the recent musical afront to humanity/homage to Mick.  The quote, however, is a tribute in sincere.... What?  A little too caustic for The Mojo?  lol...

As my good friends and frequent partakers of The Mojo know, I love finding inspiration in subtle places; the overseen actions of a stranger or friend, the subtle line from a movie or television show, in great musical masterpieces; particularly ones that have avoided the glare of Top 40 radio.  I can't think of one much better than this classic gem from Mick.

It speaks to the human foible of searching in vain for the unattainable; and consequently having happiness and satisfaction elude us.  Perhaps that's why 'I can't get no satisfaction".... we'll save that for another day.  But if we will open our eyes and soak in the greatness around us, we might just find we have everything we need to have an amazing day; an amazing life.

A brilliant philosopher once remarked, 'wherever we go, there we are.'  So to it is in our quest to find what we 'need'.  Sometimes we can't escape ourselves long enough to see that all we need is sitting right in front of us...

Make today an amazing day.  Enjoy it.  Embrace it.

You might just find, its all you need.
