What does being hopeful mean for you? Have you ever paused long enough to focus your attention on what hope is and where it comes from? Whether we know it or not, our hopes are reflections of our values, priorities, vision, dreams, and fears. Being hopeful for something shows who we really are. What are you hopeful for?
Implicit in hope is an expectation that things will change for the better. Think about that for a second. Once we give up hope and our lives and the world becomes hopeless, we do not expect things to change. Hopelessness surrenders to the world staying the same. Somehow, being hopeful is implicit in being human. Our resilience to holding on to hope will get us through just about anything. Embedded in our survival is a vision of the future being better. What are you hopeful for?
So as we end this season and this year, take a few minutes and observe your own hope. What does being hopeful mean for your personally? Where do you sense it in your body? What do you need to do point yourself towards the change that is required to achieve what you are hopeful for? – www.rhoadscoaching.com
