Living inside hope can make all the difference.
Yesterday, while pondering the opportunities and challenges of a new year, I came across this wonderful Barbara Kingsolver quote:
The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. (Animal Dreams)
Figure out what you hope for.
Live inside that hope.
I think Barbara Kingsolver is exactly right, and that her challenge is a good one for all of us as we enter 2014. When we live under the roof of what we hope for, we are able to move beyond our fears and flourish.
Have you figured out what you hope for? If so, how are you living inside that hope?
Dear inspirational Vicki, I love Barbara Kingsolver’s books, and this was one that was especially meaningful, thank you for your amazing insight into so many issues, this made me consider what I am hoping for, hadn’t thought of that specifically, just so grateful for all our blessings. I send our love and gratitude to you, for sharing your wonderful thoughts with us, goodnight now, with love always, Doris
