The Toa Te Ching says, Hope is as hollow as fear." Both are untrue and only cloud the sublime beauty or the exquisite okayness of this precious moment. The moment may be shitty or pleasurable but it is always an awakened miracle.
I know many magic but the most powerful is to notice how myself exist. I say, things change because you notice; do you notice things changing? When you notice anything real, you will change naturally. you cannot predict what change comes but noticing is how transformation is 'no longer' resisted.
There is nothing wrong with having hope. Hope for a better future hoping for the best in life. Hope give can give great meaning to people who are poor and who are desperate. Part of being happy and feeling fulfilled is achieving goals so you hope for the best. I understand the message that having no hope can relax you at the moment and provide you relief but hope is not necessarily a bad thing. If you are feeling hopeless life can be miserable but I understand the message and relying too much on hope can leave you feeling uneasy.
Rey Mestidio i think a better aspect of hope is faith. Having faith on God that everything happens according to the divine plan, and everything the almighty does is just and for our own higher good. It can never ever be something unfair, no matter what, and the karma will always come back to us, whether it's of the past life or of the present life
“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat - Napoleon Hill
There is a difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it. No one is ready for a think until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be belief, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief. Closed minds do not inspire faith, courage and belief
What I have learned in life after years of just trusting and going with the flow is that the "Fates" are cruel. I quote Napoleon Hill not because I am trying to become a milllionare but that he understands that only you are going to bring your innermost desires to reality-and that they are God-given desires. But the skills, the work, the failures and successes are what we go through. But we must be goal-oriented, have definite purpose for our actions. So no more just so what for me. The trail of tears that brought me out of this thinking has set my soul on fire.
My response to this message is this: Well, if this is it, then I'll never be happy. So I might as well take my own life, because there is no point without hope. What is your response to this response?
