Topic: True Hope And Mapmaking Into The Future

Sitting in our easy chair and wishing away the hours and days of our life is not an example of true hope. Wishing is not true hope because true hope is a spiritual energy getting our heart, mind, soul, and often our body out of our easy chair and out of our circumstances. True hope propels us forward. To make what we hope for come alive within us, we need to make maps leading us into our future. During this mapmaking activity many people begin to deal with reality. In charting our course into the future, we must take into account the real probabilities of events. We must not have a wish or a fictional idea as a place on our map. We must not have a vague dream as a place on our map. Our map into the future must consist of real points of achievement rather than imaginary places we hope will make us feel good. In practical terms, outside circumstances may come against us. However, we can rule over the circumstances when we have the Light and love inside of us.
