You have probably heard the term "true hope" a lot and maybe you've wondered what it means to have
this amazing feeling. Well, according to the dictionary, the definition of hope is a feeling that
what is wanted will happen; desire accompanied by expectation.
This is great news for those of us who believe and have hope in changing our lives by using the
universal laws, but you're probably wondering how in the world can hope become doubt.
Believe It Or Not It All Depends On How You Use The Word
Lately, I've had conversations with a lot of people who talk about praying, having faith, changing
their lives, staying positive and having great expectations for themselves, but then they tack on
the phrase, "I hope!"
Normally I would not make an issue of them saying this. After all, true hope is needed to make
positive changes in anyone's life, but what drew my attention was not that these people said this,
it was HOW they said it. When I questioned each person about it, they each told me that even
though they desperately wanted these changes in their lives they had doubts about them actually
taking place.
In Essence They Were Using "I Hope" To Indicate A Presence Of Doubt!
Even though they used the phrase "I hope," their feelings were still of hopelessness and unbelief!
It doesn't take a genius to know that whatever prayers, affirmations, expectations or changes you
want to make in your life, as long as these feelings are dominant in your mind and heart, all these
things are null and void!
To define hope is to have a FEELING that what is wanted will happen; DESIRE accompanied
by EXPECTATION. Each of these individuals did not have this feeling, desire or expectation,
even though they continued to pray, affirm and expect miracles to happen in their lives!
Of course it's been a year and nothing is changing in their lives. They still want good jobs, more
money, happy relationships and better health. Actually, things seem to be getting worse because they
keep attracting more and more doubt, less money, no relationships and worse health.
When I tried to explain what they were doing and why these things were happening, I was met with
anger and stubbornness each time. It was the classic example of telling the horse about the water,
leading the horse to the water, but not being able to make him drink the water.
True Hope Has Avoided These Individual's Grasp
Please don't let this happen to you! Remember, words and feelings are very powerful. They make
up your life and belief system, and what you believe is what's in your subconscious mind, and
it will manifest into your life. Apparently these individuals don't have hope. Their feelings
aren't of true hope, and they are confusing true hope with hopelessness and doubt.
If you get nothing else out of this article, at least listed to the video with Bob Doyle,
Why Do Bad Things Happen.
It doesn't have anything to do with true hope, but it does explain how we attract pain, hunger
and suffering into our lives. Also, true hope or
hope is mentioned 130 times in the King James version of the bible. If
you're interested, please take a look at that also.
Be careful when substituting words and be very careful how you use words. Especially in conjunction
with your feelings. If not, you may end up getting more of what you don't want in your life.
