Hope Begins with “Hard” Work
Hope Begins with “H”are Work
Yesterday Peace and Joy 8 introduced , or reintroduced” the acronym for HOPE as Hard Work (by the way why is hardworking one word and Hard work two words? English what a language..I guess guess it’s for the same reason that comb and tomb and bomb don’t rhyme? Okay... Hard. Work, Optimism, Persistence, and Experimenting. Hope is not just sitting waiting for the universe to deliver. It is an activity we can chose to become engaged in.
Fear is a stimulus that creates a need to respond or react—we can. Choose and strengthen hope.
Anyway let’s get to. “Hard Work.”
A wise. Former. Professor of mine told me that “opportunity often knocks but comes dressed as hard work.” He also said that hard work does not have to be tedious or drudgery and that is simply has to invite and sometimes demand that you grow and stretch what you are currently. Doing. This type of effort requires attention, intention,and more often than not repetition and reflection. Without these you simply have a wish—Nothing wrong with wishes by the way, but in these days Fairy God Mothers are sheltering in place and Prince Charming hascanceledthe ball until further notice. Oh and try to. Have a dance using Zoom...it doesn’t work unless you show a bunch of freshman boys sitting. Together up against a wall looking pretty. Nervous and watching each other to see who will ask someone to dance. anyway if you want to experience hope then get ready to stretch and sometimes move slowly toward your vision. Down below you will find a link to a news story about a remarkable. Person and his pretty outstanding father who understand that you can hope to do something that is very meaningful and thus are putting in the work needed.
a lot of us right now are “hoping” that this pandemic goes away soon and are willing to do what it takes, but are finding it very hard to change our habits and reconsider our routines. Many I are fearing that uncertainty. Will remain for a lot longer than we are comfortable with. Well what if you lived in. A war-torn country like Vit Nam or Afghanistan? How much uncertainty did and are you living with for how long? I am not suggesting a comparison model, however, I am suggesting we personally establish what is “routine and normal” and need to work hard to own it if we. Want to hope things will change from the current way thiunbgs are.
To summarize —-sort of—Hope can be an activity that we can have some say over and that is a rare. Commodity in some senses these days. It requires intentional action and that action will take some “hard” work. Do not be afraid to share what you hope for with others. Because often times two. Or more people have similar or related hopes and in addition to being willing to share some of the work these folks may also assist in the other elements that make up “HOPE.”
Wellthat’s all the thoughts I care to share right now. Tomorrow we’ll launch into “optimism and whyitisacritical element in this equation and in seeking peace and joy.
Until then..I have some more things to do today...so HI HO HI HO it’s off to work (hard) I go.
