hope is the answer

These are our thoughts feelings and experiences. We accept responsibility for them. We understand your journey may be different. We honor and respect that. Wishing you effortless joy. Eloise and Jake

The two biggest barriers to healing are helplessness and hopelessness.

I talk to my clients about falling down and getting back up. (It is not about how many times you fall down; it is about getting back up.) So often, however one falls down and just can’t get back up. (Either due to discouragement or fatigue or just confusion as to how) That’s when collective energy is so powerful.

I can tell you stories of the people I know who fell down, and thought it was their last time, thought they were down for the count, who got back up only because someone gave them hope.

Hope is essential to life. Without it we die. Hope is about having something to look forward to. Hope is about believing life will get better, or at least not get worse. Hope is about believing in miracles and believing in the impossible.

We get hope from information, from stories, from evidence. We get hope from God, from life, from watching people. Hope is fuel to climb the highest mountains, and it is the strength that allows us to get up again even when we are tired.

Helplessness is a little different, but has some similarities. Helplessness is an attitude that is nurtured by thoughts of I can’t, I shouldn’t or, I won’t. It’s like falling down and refusing to get up. It is like falling down and saying some else must come get me up. It maybe an attitude painted with fear or it just may come from thoughts of entitlement. But helpless is only a hair away from being hopeless.

The Cure for both is hope. Hope is about believing in possibilities. Hope is about solutions, and options and finding the light when it is dark. Hope is the breath of life.

Hope is in all of us, and can be found by getting quiet, filling our hearts and mind with love and gratefulness and then believing that life is worth living fuller, better, healthier and happier.

Never Ever Give up Hope……it is the twin to love.
