October 13, 2012The Substance of Hope
I have a quote hanging on my office wall by an anonymous author that goes: ” Of all the forces that make for a better world, none is so powerful as hope. With hope, one can think, one can work, one can dream. If you have hope, you have everything.”
What if we were to add the following three elements to our hope? 1. Take 100% responsibility for your life. 2. Be completely clear on why you are here. 3. Decide on what you want for your life.
Hope plus Motivation plus Love = Healthy Individual. Work to integrate these life components and you will begin to see there is an inherent connection between the three. Having the courage to face a problem is a necessity of life! Using substances tends to keep us from making this all important connection. Will you with Hope, Motivation and Love move your life forward with positive intention? It all starts with HOPE!
If a man for whatever reason has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself. – Jacques Yves Cousteau.
