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.

One person can make a difference!

Hopelessness ………. HOPE…. Making a difference!
It only takes a moment… to change directions, to change an attitude to change a thought, to change a feeling… Now ultimately we are all responsible for how we think, how we feel and what we do. But the reality is that one person can trigger that in another. One word one look, one action can take a person from feeling great to feeling awful. We can all name a hundred of those moments. We also forget that we have the ability to trigger the good change as well.
Last week I had a patient tell me that everyone else in their life had given up on them, and that they were thinking about giving up on themselves, but decided not to, because I had looked in their eyes and said,: “I think you can do it this time; it doesn’t matter how many time you fall down, it only matters that you get back up”.
That reminded me of a moment in my life, when everyone had given up on me. And I was as hopeless as they come. (As hopeless as I have seen anyone of my patients) And one person was sent to me (….by the great spirit…) who believed in me when no one else was.
It took one person, one connection, one moment that allowed me to make a choice and say: …….I can do it.
Yesterday I was having a bad day… and one person, one nurse who saw this, and with one choice of hers, touched my heart and turned my day around.
I was inspired again, and grateful and energized to believe in the impossible, to believe in miracles to believe in the hopeless.
One moment, one choice, one thought, one deed at a time, touching one person at a time, we can change the world.
Never loose hope that you can make a difference!
Never stop believing in the impossible, in the hopeless.
You have the power to make a difference. One choice, one thought, one feeling one action at a time.
Hopelessness is not an option. Hope is what the world is made of. It is one of the most important ingredient in everything else (love, peace happiness joy)
