GET YOUR HOPES UP

How many times has someone said to you, “Don’t get your hopes up?” The rationale being that getting your hopes up leads to disappointment when something doesn’t happen.

If you’ve been familiar with the concept of manifestation for a while, you’ll know this is a defeatist attitude.

What have we got to lose by keeping our hopes up? Sure, we may experience a little disappointment if something doesn’t go our way, but if this is the only downside to keeping your hopes up, then what do we have to worry about?

There are two things that stand between humanity and the belief in miracles. The first problem is people have been conditioned toward negative thinking more than positive thinking. One example of this is our ability to believe in miracles. Miracles are something Jesus did, and we don’t consider ourselves as worthy of miracles as Jesus. But Jesus was human just like the rest of us, and He was adamant that His ability to manifest miracles was something we all had.

The second thing is rationality. It has often been said the thing that sets humanity apart from the rest of the animal world is our ability to be rational. Well, that may be true from a completely evolutionary viewpoint, but our faith in rationality has overtaken our faith in our ability as conscious creators. This had a devastating effect on our acceptance of anything that lies outside of the limited parameters of the rational mind, including how to use the law of attraction.

Getting your hopes up is what life should be about. Being hopeful is life affirming and can produce results beyond your wildest dreams. In fact, you should not only keep your hopes up, you should also elevate them to the point where you expect miracles to happen daily.

The sad truth is people are often afraid of their power. On some level, we all intuitively understand we are powerful beyond belief, and this is what frightens us. One of the human race’s biggest challenges is learning to set aside fear and embrace our status as powerful creators. But connecting with the source can only do this. Make the choice today to live with this new knowledge and to expect miracles and happy events to flow into your life regularly. The universe has given us this power. Don’t waste it by expecting predictable outcomes.
