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.

Life-5

Life grows in the crags, the rocky places, the desolate. Life is determined to live!

Even in the dark, mushrooms grow, the depths of the sea have fish with their own light bulbs that live, survive and make more life way down there….6-7 miles deep, as high as a mountain is tall.

God makes life, man makes death…what is the problem?

Man doesn’t think he can live or make things better so he creates what he is familiar with…despair, defeat, destruction.

But, there is a lightbulb which is always left on for us to see through the darkness of life if we look. Life wants to grow and thrive anywhere it is allowed. Weeds are the first to break up dry hard ground so better plants can grow. Moss and ferns take root in craggy walls and slippery slopes gradually breaking down the clefts with their roots to make dirt for more life to grow and survive.

Life is all about beauty and meaning and purpose and making more life wherever we are. That’s because God is life and makes and gives life all over. That’s why we can breathe and walk and see and enjoy our gorgeous earth.

To try and stop life, however mankind may try… is to thwart God and He cannot be thwarted. He is for us, He is for life. He is for you! and your life!!!

Just stop focusing on the death and destruction being loud-mouthed all over the airwaves and begin to focus on how you can start and continue bringing life to your area, your rocky crag, your below sea-level domicile, your parched ground and see things begin to grow and change.

You can be a catalyst for life right where you are!

How can I be a life-bringer today?

Let’s keep the lightbulbs of life glowing so others can find their way with us.

The Mind.

The Mind! Your mind, my mind the mind of mankind.

God gave us a good mind and the ability to think.

Noise, commotion and other voices shout in the breeze, hoping to land in your mind to make you think their way.

Don’t be tricked! Your mind is yours. Use it well to benefit you, yours and those around—to do and be your best!

This world, your community, your family needs all your best thoughts. We don’t have time to get side-tracked by things that will drag us down, rob our time or prevent us from becoming the better person.

Be like Santa Claus and make a list, check it twice whether those thoughts are of naught or nice.

It will be a present you give to yourself.

Make it a good gift!
