Add a little Hope

Good morning,

This week has been a bit of a mixed response to my messages I had sent out.
Many enjoyed it, but most of the feedback I was receiving had the following 4 words:

“I have no HOPE”

So I got thinking about the role of hope in ourselves and what hope is, and where it fits in, into what I call the heirachy of infinite possibilities. 

Let’s look at this heirachy:
Hope > Belief > Faith > Know > Love

Clearly, one can see that Hope is the first step in this process. Hope says “I don’t know how, but it might be possible.”
Hope will whisper “Go on, give it a try.”
If a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step – then if you do not take the step, there is no journey. The strange bit about life is that we take the OBVIOUS for granted. Hope is that first step.

Hope is simply a dream that we have that something may be – just may be possible.
I believe that the very trait that makes us Human is that we have hope and we have dreams. No other animal has hope and dreams. Ask your dog. Go on…see told you! We stop being human the moment we lose hope and stop dreaming. We might as well be an inanimate object. The human spirit itself is HOPE.

If you have lost hope, you have allowed the eternal flame inside you to go out.
When a flame goes out, you are in darkness. You cannot find your way.

So does that mean you are hope-less?
Let’s not kid ourselves. The answer is YES.
But only for a moment. You see the moment that flame goes out there a thousand angels, if you will, some human, making their way to you to rush you to the ER to have an h-ope-ration.

There you will have a triple Hope bypass and ignite that flame of hope again.

HOPE, as defined by the Taxi Driver Dictionary is:

H*old
O*n
P*lease
E*ternal Being

Got it? Good. Restore hope into your life. It’s the birth of all wonderful and fantastic things.

Add a little Hope, receive a lot of miracles.

Love,
H
