Hope

A fixed mindset has no hope.  It has lost its hope.

“There can be no change; Things will always be this way; There’s nothing I can do about it; It’s too late; Things are too bad; It’s gone on too long to see anything different; They’ll never change…”

It has no hope of a different future, a different tomorrow, a different you!

Hope is the propeller on the airplane of life that pulls us forward. We can guide it wherever we want to go when the engine is running.

Hope is freedom; an optimistic view of a new and brighter future; of change; a better tomorrow; a different way of doing things; freedom from the ruts in life… in your life!

Hope is one thing God has given mankind that no matter how bad things become, no matter what has been done, God can fix it. He can cause new growth. He is in the restoration business. There is aways hope. If you only have an ounce of strength or courage, He will give you more. If you feel there’s only a tiny bit of life left in you, He will fan it into flame.

Ask Him to blow on you.

Land of the Free – Home of the Brave!

Often when we hear these words, we think about war and fighting with weapons for freedom.

Yet freedom of speech and the war about words was really what started it all. Human beings want/need to be heard, have an input, see worth in what they want to bring into life.

I think it’s an act of bravery to speak up for yourself in any area of life today…so much concern about political correctness, what would G’ma think, what will the neighbors say …’if I said that!’?

We talk about the status quo, but if we don’t challenge it by speaking out against it for change and improvement, that’s not brave and it won’t help our freedom.

I’m not talking about rebellion and anarchy just for the sake or proving someone wrong or fighting authority. I’m talking about challenging ideas and methodologies we’ve been ingrained with that are no longer serving us. They are extracting from us, rather than adding to us.

That takes bravery/courage to speak up and begin to question– so things might be rethought –and necessary reforms take place.

Just because, ‘this is the way we’ve always done it’ or ‘this is the way we’ve always thought’, doesn’t mean it is working for us now.

Use your freedom!

Don’t be afraid to think constructive thoughts how things, activities, processes, relationships, organization and organizations can be changed to work better, smoother, more efficiently, effectvely.

Learn to enjoy the freedom of thinking, and talk with others about it.

Be brave, start now!
