(Continued from A Dose of Hope Part 1)
Dream and Believe
I want to be clear…Hope is simply believing that your dreams will come to pass. If we don’t have hope in the future we cannot have power in the present. Hope will give you the power to wakeup early and the passion and ambition to make it through life’s challenges (weather the storms) and achieve the ultimate victory.
You’ve got to believe that no matter what today’s current challenges may hold that your time is coming. To accomplish this you have to wakeup every day expecting good things to happen. You have to step up your faith and start believing. If you don’t believe you live a life of discouragement and despair and you will talk yourself out of living the life you desire.
Today, I want to encourage you to get your dream back. There is hope. Setbacks are only temporary and designed to refine you and mold you and make you into what you are destined to become.
Get your hopes up. Press on toward your ultimate prize. Believe that the next decade is going to be your Super Decade … A Decade of Hope. Have Faith that every dream you have for your life can and will come true.
Everyday you have to wake up, put your shoulders back, look in the mirror, and tell yourself I will not be denied. Today is my day and anything is possible. Tell yourself that “I’m going to make it happen, I will never settle for less than my very best.”
Everyday you have a choice. You can choose to tell yourself such things as, “I don’t have the talents or abilities, I don’t have the time or resources, and I don’t have the support of those around me?” Any old excuse will do and you will live a negative self-defeating life. Your hope-o-meter will be running on empty.
Or, you can fill your life with hope and positive expectancy. You can choose to have an attitude of faith and believe as I do that the best is yet to come and success is waiting. Your Hope-O-Meter will be overflowing.

Great Post!
Thanks Chris!
Anyway, once a again a great post and worth a bookmark and from me thank you.
I do wish there were more people like you around on the interwebs. Not many people are careful with their words, including myself sometimes. I have written things I would love to take back, goo work, keep it up.
Nice contribution. Thanks.
Hi, cheers for the good read.
Billy,
Let’s take your idea of hope one step further to ensure that people aren’t using hope as an excuse to do nothing. Unfortunately, some people hope that the economy will turn out OK (yet continue to spend like drunken sailors), hope that they keep their jobs (yet do nothing to improve their marketable skills or value to their employer) or hope that they get picked for promotion (yet won’t pick up a book on management or leadership).
Hope is just one cog in the wheel on the way to accomplishing something worthwhile. But without action, hope is just an excuse to be lazy.
Thanks for the post.
Good Read! Looking forward to more! Bookmarked the site and will be back again!
