I was surprised by this bit of wisdom during meditation…
Hope is powerlessness.
When we hope for something, we are saying that we are powerless to make it happen, but we HOPE it might happen somehow on its own. But we are never powerless. We have, at any moment, the power to choose. We choose our mindset. We choose our path. We choose our goals. We CHOOSE. And as soon as we choose, the action happens almost automatically. So don’t sit there hoping for change, or relief or something new. Choose to change. Choose relief. Choose something new. Choose to take action on what you can take action on. Let the action happen. And see where that gets you.
