What Choices Have You Been Making?

I’ve heard it said that a person’s choices can be seen reflected in the their lives—their relationships, work, hobbies, etc. What kind of life have they lived with whatever set of circumstances they found themselves in? How do they choose to spend their time and energy?

Much of my life, I was faced with ongoing unhappiness. I was consistently financially, romantically, and mentally bankrupt. However, the one thing that I still had was Hope.

I had been deepening my relationship with God Love (God) over many years, and felt a very strong connection. Despite this, there was a time in which I thought, “Things might not turn around for me like I’d figured. Maybe my life will continue like this in an ongoing way.” If that should be the case, what was the point of staying hopeful?

I looked out on what could be my life: constantly enduring hardships, fear, and uncertainty. An inner resolve showed itself, and I decided right then and there that should that happen I would not give up continuing to live with a hopeful mindset. I would stay with my connection with God, as it was the only thing that consistently brought me relief.

Of course, persevering on with a generally positive mindset eventually produced positive results, as it will do. Consider this as you move forward in a state of Hope, doing what you can, where you can, when you can.
