Hope: My Most Important Lesson
When things don’t go my way, I give up my dreams. I have treated hope with disdain and preferred the “better to aim low and avoid disappointment” philosophy. The Secret Challenge has taught me that hope is a good thing. I’m sure that everything that I have learned was probably taught to me by my parents or other influences in my life, however, in order to internalize them I had to re-learn them for myself. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of the lessons learned thus far:
- Let nothing destroy my hope. Instant gratification should not be my excuse.
- Be grateful for all of the blessings in my life on a daily basis (not just Thanksgiving).
- Every day is a new day to better myself. I have bazillion second chances.
- Honoring my emotions, being authentic to them, does not equate to a free for all negativity party. Honor, acknowledge, rationalize, move forward and dismiss.
- Making the time to meditate daily clears my mind and frees my spirit.
- Happiness is mine to have at this moment, not some allusive goal.
I don’t care if the Law of Attractions is not a real scientific law. It’s a tool, among other tools, to enrich my life.

I couldn't agree more! When you ain't got hope, you ain't got NOTHIN'!
