Never lose hope.

Never lose hope that things won’t improve because they will. Perhaps not as expected but they will improve.

Perhaps they won’t improve as quickly as you would like but they will eventually.

You’re always growing, always changing, always learning.

Hope is not ego-driven which is often what brings about pain and suffering. It is not trying to deny reality but to help us see the deeper reality.

Real hope is what keeps us moving, keeps us slogging, keeps us building.
And sometimes hope is all that’s left, the idea that something will improve, that something will change.

When you lose hope depression and suicide can set in. Hope is required for happiness.

Hope is you thinking you are worthy, that you are deserving, that things will happen.

It’s a call in the night.

It’s not optimism or a positive attitude. That is different. Optimism is more of a mental mind set. Hope is more of a deep understanding that things are improving.

More of a realization experienced.

Though not everyone can be optimistic, everyone can be hopeful.

I don’t know what hope is exactly but it’s very important.

At a time when many of us have felt stripped down by finances, relationships and job prospects hope is needed

Have hope.

Sometimes I think of a friend.
Who I always care for in the end.

It doesn’t matter if it’s months or years
I know that friend will dry my tears.

Days go by.. they often do.
Then I smile when I think of you.

So call, text or email that friend right now.
And tell them that you love them somehow.

It is a misnomer to think that the path of the truth seeker is to seek. It is not. The path of the truth seeker is to develop all the faculties of himself/herself necessary to support the realization of greater truths.

It is a training system of sorts much like training for a pentathlon in which their are  five separate events:  1) Mental Training,  2) Emotional Comfort / Expression, 3) Physical Grounding / Resiliency, 4) Spiritual Understanding.

The fifth event is that of INTEGRATION, a sort of alchemy in which we consciously bring everything together to become a complete and whole, spiritual person; a human being who is here to experience and enjoy the fullness of life, and to create love and abundance in the world.

This love and abundance begins with ourselves.
