HOPE IS EVERYTHING!

karenringalls

We just celebrated Easter, the holy day symbolizing hope. Without hope, life is negative, empty, and very sad. It is an expectation for something to happen.

Living without hope creates ill health. A person gives up and lives with futility. Bitterness, jealousy, and anger take over their spirit. The fictional character, Ahab, from Moby Dick, was such a person. The captain’s goal was a destructive one, which ended up destroying him.

Here are some simple actions to change our negative attitude to one of hope:

  • Never compare yourself to others.
  • Set a goal and try to reach it.
  • Give everything a chance before rejecting it.
  • Be well groomed.
  • Let others know how their negativity affects you.
  • Surround yourself with positive, hopeful people.
  • Be active in the things that make you feel whole and happy.

HOPE

Always strengthening
Its tentacles reaching out
Angels surrounding
Fear nudges, faith is shaking
Like an oak, hope's roots grow deep

 

For the most part is your attitude positive or negative? Are the people in your life smiling or frowning? Is your glass half full or half empty

  4. Thank you Karen! I needed to hear this today on a Monday when I’m overwhelmed with caring for Bill, income tax & the week ahead.
    Yes I need to be positive. Take one thing at a time & finish it. Don’t beat yourself up. Don’t eat that cookie you want. It won’t help in any way. Reach for carrots & celery & crunch!!
    You’ve lifted my spirits already!♥️
