For your consideration…
We often ask, usually actually, “How are you?” “How is it going?” The questions roll off of our tongues almost without thinking….naturally. HOPEfully they are not platitudes and we really want to know.
Depending on where we are and what is going on with our lives, our answer may be great or not so great. We may feel we are in a slump. Or we may feel like life is not going as we had planned or HOPEd. That’s how life goes. It has ups and downs, ebbs and flows.
Our message today reminds us to notice when we are starting to get stuck. Notice when the cycles seem to get interrupted. Notice when we are not happy with how things are going. Notice and then take control. Rewrite the script. The point of noticing is so that we can do just that. We can rewrite the script and change things up. We can add or subtract. We can reorder our plans. We can do a major or minor rewrite.
We are reminded that we are in charge of our story. We own our life purpose. We own the map on how to accomplish it. When we don’t like how things are going, we simply need to step up and rewrite the story.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take..,
-Affirm…“I am loved.”
-Affirm…”I am in charge of my story.”
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
