How to Rebuild your Hope: 2 min ready by Chris & Megan Rea
Your life is not small and rebuilding a life you love starts from the inside out. Last week we talked about rebuilding your Faith. This week we’re focusing on rebuilding your hope.
Raise your hand if you’ve ever had a day go EXACTLY as planned.
Anyone?
Anyone?
Bueller?
Ah, life. It typically doesn’t go like we think it will in our heads, does it?
Sometimes, it’s just a minor inconvenience and you adjust: you rip up your to-do list, you order pizza, you move on. Other times though, when it’s not quite as simple and the disappointments that grace your doorstep are huge, you have two choices:
The simplest “solution” of course is to get bitter. Bitter comes quite naturally and requires very little work.
Option 2, however, will require more of you upfront, but it’s much healthier in the long run. Option 2 chooses to get better.
And the first step in the “get better” process is to begin to move forward.
Hold on now, I didn’t say move on, I said move forward. And there is a big difference.
When you experience pain, loss, or disappointment, your life is never going to be quite the same. We never “move on” from that pain as if it never happened. That is a little something called denial.
However, you can and must move forward in order to begin the process of re-building your life & your hope.
Even though life will never be the same, we know you have the ability to have an amazing life; a life full of hope, joy, and more peace than you’ve experienced in a long time.
In fact, as you keep moving forward, you may even realize that your previous way of living really wasn’t all that great anyway.
So what does moving forward look like for you today?
From experience friend, it starts with getting your soul healed. It’s taking the deep breath, choosing to face the pain, acknowledging the disappointment, and being courageous enough to figure out how to rebuild your hope and your life from here.
But, THAT’S where we come in.
You are NOT alone and your life is NOT small. We are here to help.
