Having Hope


Listen Later

Your spouse thinks it’s hopeless.  You may even be wondering that, too.  But is it?  Is it hopeless?
Or is the problem that your spouse is hopeless — not the situation?
Let’s be honest:  if you give up hope, it may become a hopeless situation.
Sometimes, having hope is not based on seeing the way.  We find the way because we hold onto hope.
In one of my books, Beyond the 3 Barriers, I note that one barrier for your spouse is hopelessness.  I also note that one way to move beyond your spouse’s barriers is by having hope.  Holding onto hope.  Maintaining hope while waiting for space to make a shift.
Hope has 3 core components… all within your control and choice.  But you do need to know the components in order to choose.  When you do, you choose hope.
Remember that hope is not about waiting for a spouse to hope… or even to shift.  It comes from within you, a choice you make.  Hang on to hope!
