I about choked on my drink. \u00a0My boys have always been super responsible, and had to pay for insurance, gas, maintenance and have a job to get a car and be able to drive. A BMW! I was trying to find a way to let him know that, that probably wasn&#8217;t going to happen anytime soon. \u00a0He said he was praying for God to bring him the car,<strong> kind of like it was just gonna show up in the driveway. \u00a0<\/strong>He wasn&#8217;t doing anything to help him get the car, he was just hoping that it would show up. \u00a0Now I want to say that I DO believe in miracles buuuuuut, I would be shocked if a bmw showed up in the driveway, for a 16 yr old who had no way of paying, maintaining or insuring a bmw.<\/p>\n<p><em>So hope is an interesting thing for me, because Hope is a belief that things can happen, change, or be had. \u00a0Hope keeps our dreams alive. \u00a0Hope keeps us striving for what we haven&#8217;t yet experienced. \u00a0Hope sustains those in dire situations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sometimes though we get stuck in the hope circle, We say things like &#8220;I hope I can get a promotion&#8221; , &#8220;I hope I make more money&#8221;, &#8220;I hope I get published&#8221;, &#8220;I hope someone buys my art&#8221;&#8230;. on and on&#8230;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But we don&#8217;t do anything to move us toward our goals or dreams. \u00a0We don&#8217;t prepare ourselves, our world, our lives for our hopes and dreams to come to fruition. \u00a0Kind of like my son and his hope for a BMW.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hope keeps our dreams and soul alive, but most times it takes preparation and good ol fashioned hard work to see our hopes as real.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sooooo&#8230;.If you feel like your hopes have been just that hopes for years with nothing changing&#8230; then do something different&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Make a list of your hopes and put it on your bathroom mirror, or in a place that you will see them everyday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Then do one thing to move you closer to one of those hopes. \u00a0Small steps&#8230;. make an appt. , send a thank you note, send your work to a publisher, make a date, talk to that someone that you have had a crush on. \u00a0Just one thing and watch what happens!
