We break, we bleed, and we begin again.
Trust can be mended.
Love can be restored.
New shoots can flourish among the broken stone.
There are times in life when we are mightily challenged to hang on to hope. This can apply to things happening close to us, and also on he macro level, in the world around us.
For many, this is one of those times, a time when our grip on hope feels tenuous.
A different outcome takes more than just holding on to hope. It takes ACTION.
If we want things to be different in our lives, we have got to do something. Take some positive action to try to make that change reality.
Hope is a good thing, but in and of itself won’t be enough.
Still, it all begins with understanding that nothing is beyond repair. That equilibrium can be restored, both personally and globally. The first step is for us to act. It might not work, but for sure it won’t work if we don’t act. Because nothing can happen without that first step.
I hope this inspires you to act today.
If you’d like to make a difference in someone’s life, consider sending one of our gentle, supportive gifts to help with their grief or help them heal. Find them right here.
My vote is in and all I can do is hope at this point.
Sending all good vibes out!
Take some positive action. Yes!
Gotta get in motion, right?
Yes, we have the power within us! Taking action can be difficult because fear wants us to stay in our comfort zone. Focusing on just the first small step can be less overwhelming than thinking about the goal as a whole.
Our comfort zone is a tempting place.
I was just talking to my son about this. He’s so frustrated at our political system. I told him that the hope for the future comes from people like him to get involved instead of just giving up, or even hoping that someone else will do it.
Yes, that is exactly true. Wise words to him!
I love this so much, Carol. Beautiful and wonderful to read during a week when a sibling went into detox and another relative OD’d on acid, and I went to the ER for heart palpitations! Thank you.
That is a heavy load. Will keep them all close to my heart and in prayers. All of you.
I find myself afraid to hope with this upcoming election. And yet sometimes, it creeps in. Prayers.
That’s why I am volunteering–to help push things along in the direction we need to go.
“A different outcome takes more than just holding on to hope. It takes ACTION.”
Carol, this is truly inspiring! So much of the time one sits in quiet desperation clinging to hope and the real answer is to get up and DO SOMETHING!
Sharing…
Yes, sometimes we forget that we have some power, too!
