This is a topic I've written on a couple of times in the course of this blog. A recent conversation compelled me to come back to this topic once more.
Hope is the little girl waiting for her Prince Charming or her White Knight to come rescue her.
I prefer the modern day version, found in the show Once, of Snow White and her Prince Charming - this is the portrayal of faith rather than hope to me. They each have faith that no matter what happens, they will always find each other again. Snow does not wait on her Prince to save her, she works to save herself as well.
Hope is passive; faith is active.
Hope is waiting for others to do for you. Faith is putting actions in motion to do for yourself.
Each has their place - however, as long as you have taken the actions you need to take to achieve certain things, than can you have hope that others will do the same.
That is what a victor does - takes the action to live her best life now rather than waiting for others to take that action for her. And yes, there is always an action to be taken, however small it may seem at the time.
So, are you waiting in hope that someone will rescue you or are you acting in faith that you are rescuing yourself?
CALL TO ACTION: What one thing can you do today, however small it may be, to move toward living your best life now?
CHECK-IN: We've gone over a lot in the last four months. So, let's review a bit.
How are you doing with moving out on your goals?
Are you remembering what it is you are grateful for each and every day?
Are you changing from the inside out or the outside in?
What can you do right here, right now, to take better care of your Self?
Are you reacting or responding?
Are you practicing the seven self care habits listed in the 7 Mar 16 post?
Are you journaling? Have you laid out your vision for living your best life now?
Are you pondering the 7 questions from the 20 Mar 16 post?
Have you created a manifestation board?
Are you identifying and figuring out how to deal with the roadblocks to living your best life now?
NEXT TIME: Well, this month showed how the best laid plans of mice and men get overturned by circumstance - and the right material is provided at the right time. We shall see what the month of May brings to this blog. My outline says Physical Health - and with the farmers' markets opening up in our area, we may just get to that topic!
Until next time, Namaste!
