Hope

“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.”

–Anne Lamott

In many cases, just getting up and out of your own pity party, will bring the light  of hope out of your darkness, but you’re not a little child that can merely smile and yell “ta da” and have adoring parents clap at your very existence.  The world can be a harsh parent that will make you work for your room and board.  What are you contributing?  What are you sharing? What are you learning that will ultimately be shared? Are you working and if so, at what? It’s not the job that matters, it’s the attitude and intent of what you’re doing on this planet at this moment in time.  What are your intentions for today?  What about tomorrow?  Do you have a realistic plan to succeed?  Can you break it down or do you need assistance?  Yes, the dawn will come eventually, will you be ready?  Start now.
