The Courage to Hope

Motivation

Recently, hope has been discussed a lot, but one thing was left unsaid. The fear of hope. Everyone who dares to hope faces the danger of being let down and feeling unsuccessful. Our society places an excessive amount of emphasis on achievement, which exaggerates the risk of failure and disappointment. I coach a lot of folks who are hesitant to pursue their goals in the absence of security.

On the other side, hope is what motivates us, gives us the strength to go for our goals, and inspires us to shape the future. Without hope, we experience melancholy and despair and are unable to overcome the setbacks and difficulties of life.

Research has proven that being optimistic improves one's quality of life. On the other hand, expectations are similar to placing demands on other people and on life. It's comparable to creating a temper tantrum by starting with the thinking, "If I don't get what I want, I'll be angry." A life filled with insignificant emotional outbursts is not a joyful existence. Do you recall the adage, "Be ready for the worst, hope for the best"?

We have a higher chance of finding pleasure if we don't have unrealistic expectations, particularly of the people in our life, since we are pleased to the degree that our expectations and requirements are met. If there is a day when my spouse doesn't tell me how much he loves me or smile every day, I can let it to make me miserable. However, if I recognize that I am married to a person who may experience mood swings, I might be able to accept his mood when it doesn't go well with my own. I'll undoubtedly be let down if I expect my kids to behave perfectly every day and not get into any fights. So I agree to the degree that lowering false expectations of other people might increase happiness.

I will feel proud of my accomplishments if I push myself to complete something that is very important to me and demand more of myself in the process. They will feel better about themselves if I encourage them to anticipate big things from themselves and to recognize how remarkable they really are, so long as I don't set them up to fail by holding them to unattainable expectations.

You could become bored if you're frightened to hope. Avoidance is boredness. In other words, rather of concentrating on what you can do, you're trying not to do anything, which is making you bored. Action is the antidote to boredom. Participate in a neighborhood reading club, learn to dance, take up a new sport, attend church, go out for the evening, or go for a few walks on unfamiliar paths. Play some vintage board games with your family, such as Parcheesi or Trivial Pursuit. Plant a garden or a flowerpot. There are several possibilities to study and develop, so there is really no excuse to be bored.

Expectations themselves are not incorrect. Without having some aspirations or expectations for the future, we wouldn't enter a relationship or undertake any other uncertain endeavor. These expectations, of the "happily ever after" sort, may be rather unrealistic, particularly for those confronting their first committed, cohabitating relationship. Because their expectations were unreasonable, many of the clients I assist have experienced disappointment in life, relationships, careers, or families. This disappointment prevents them from trying again or holding out hope that they can do better. These actions might help you start feeling optimistic once again.

Dare to Hope in I

It might be terrible to hope and then be disappointed, but if you take the chance, you can learn to recover from disappointment, and dealing with failures, errors, and challenges is how you learn to achieve your goals in life. You start to understand who you are, what you want, and what will make you happy when you take a chance on hope. When you base your sense of who you are on the descriptions, recommendations, and judgments of others, you end up rejecting and even failing to recognize who you are. You encounter yourself by taking the risk and learning to hope and dream. You may discover what you need to feel good about yourself and your life by understanding who you are on the inside.

2. A fresh map

When you start dreaming, you gain the knowledge you need to make a strategy. After that, you may start to deconstruct the data and formulate a realistic strategy with manageable stages toward success. It's a process, and in many respects, it requires some excavation since you can have long-forgotten goals or aspirations that you need to resurrect after years of hiding, mindless toil, or even just years of idle television watching!

Making Contact in III

Once you've decided what you want, the following step is to start talking to people who can help you realize your vision. The easiest method to locate individuals who are also eager to hope is to share your desire with them. Start by sharing it with only a few close friends before continuing to share it until you notice that what you need is coming to you.

Finding a New Balance, Part IV

You'll be able to gauge the effectiveness of your idea after you've tested the waters in several ways. You are modifying your strategy and the stages as necessary, either speeding up or slowing down. There may probably be times when you fall behind, particularly if you get ill, are overextended, or have other setbacks in life, but you can always regain your composure and pick up where you left off. Just as with a diet, you may restart it the next day if you stray and devour the whole cake. You may still grasp hold again on Monday and do something that forces you out of the old habit if you spend the weekend cooped up watching TV or getting lost online.

V. Taking Stock of Your Life

When you get to this stage, you'll have a lot of outcomes that show you're on the right course, so it's time to rejoice. You can keep yourself motivated and on track if you recognize and appreciate your victories, no matter how minor. Celebration with gratitude equals motivation.

Happy Holidays 2008!

Once we:

Lifting our minds off of our concerns and to-do lists

and put your attention on what's feasible.

Lifting our sights above the difficulties and the grief

an eye on the future.

Lifting our thoughts above the chatter and noise

and concentrate on the quiet

We aspire to greater things with our dreams.

Hope will also cheer us up.
