Hey there , there is no better way to live a life of creative possibilities than to let go of hope . I know that's counterintuitive , so I'm going to say it again there is no better way to live a life of creative possibilities than to let go of hope . Possibilities than to let go of hope . Hope is the definition of not living in the moment . It's hope that keeps us from seeing the endless possibilities all around us right now and tethers us to expectations Expectations we have for ourselves , expectations we have for the future and for others . Hope invites comparison and implies that things aren't good right here , right now .
Lisa HopkinsWhen we hang on to hope , like we so often do , we become tied to the endless pursuit of when , into moving through or past now to an imaginary later time , a supposed better place , dismissing or entirely overlooking now in the belief that things will be better someplace else and that when we get there we'll somehow be healthier , we'll somehow be richer , we'll somehow be happier . Hope narrows our perspective to tunnel vision . Tunnel vision is defined as defective sight , in which objects cannot be properly seen if not close to the center of the field of view . The tendency to focus exclusively on a single or limited goal or point of view , Hope , the veritable light at the end of the tunnel . But we are the light , my friends . The light shines from within us and guides our way and illuminates the possibilities that are all around us right now .
Lisa HopkinsI truly believe that life is full of possibilities , and possibilities are not something you hope will come your way like luck or good fortune . Possibilities exist everywhere if you are open to them . I'm Lisa Hopkins . Thanks so much for listening . Stay safe and healthy , everyone , and remember to live in the moment .
