Hopes

Highly motivated achievers find the strength of their motivation in the power of their imagination. One of the wonderful aspects about human imagination is that it can see things not as they are now, but as they can be; it can foretell the future, based upon our beliefs and expectations, in an almost uncanny way; it can draw the colorful mental images that we hope someday to turn into reality. Imagination is the beginning of creation.
-Denis Waitley

Thanks to Cindy at Where's My Guru for this rather excellent quotation.

I read a question asked by a random person on a random website that I stumbled accross recently. They asked - Does consciousness create reality or does reality create consciousness?

Of course everyone can have their own view on this, and feel free to comment if you agree (or don't) but I feel myself that consciouness creates reality. Surely there is no reality if there is no consciousness. Everyone creates their own reality, with a little love and a little belief, and a lot of imagination and hope. It is hope that keeps people going. Hope that someone will recognise their achievements. Hope that someone will love them for who they are. Hope that someone will notice them standing there. Hope that things will be okay. Hope that the sun will come out tomorrow. Hope that they will find something or someone worth fighting for. Hope that they will recognise that this person is them. Hope for better times to come.

The list of things people hope for is endless.

It is when we loose hope that life fails us.

Keep your chin up, it will come soon, just believe!
