Being Mary Jane

 Being Mary Jane last week was great. 

One lesson that just screamed at me was when Mary Jane was speaking with her co-worker and she exclaimed that she thinks she is not supposed to get married; “It’s just something that I am not supposed to do, maybe I just thought I was supposed to do it, like a trained seal!!!.”  While I agree that marriage is not for everyone, this does not seem to be the way for Mary Jane.

Mary Jane is like a lot of other women and people in general that has a dream and gets rid of it when they come across a few pit falls on the way to accomplishing that goal.  Pit falls are going to happen; they are just the natural detours of life.  Mary Jane falling in love with a married man and also giving her heart to a man that could take her or leave her, are just examples of the pit falls of life.

I remember I heard Tyler Perry say during an interview that chasing your dreams is like following a GPS system towards a destination.  The GPS just tells you how to get to your destination, it does not tell you ahead of time the accident that may happen and the traffic jam you may come across but it seems to always adapt to the detours and it continues to move forward.

You must be like that GPS system.  Even though you have pitfalls trying to find the “one”, or starting your business, or whatever your dream may be, it does not mean you give up on it.  It just means that you may need to tweak things a little which mean change your perception of things or change how you are moving toward your goal which usually points back to you doing something differently.

Listen; do not drop your goals/dreams just because you have a couple of pit falls.  The pit falls are where the lessons and blessings happen.
