In the Fight for the Life You Want, Hope Is Not Enough

I recently saw a video in which an influencer was talking about how “everything that is meant for you, is not going to pass you” and I disagree.

Everything that is meant for you, WILL pass you if you don’t put in the work.

Hope is simply not enough. Not in a world where our actions help manifest our life. It was a monumental moment for me when I began to realise that taking active steps each day was the way to create the life I wanted. Simply sitting back and trusting gods plan, the universe, or any other “higher belief” just doesn’t cut it. Not in my experience, anyway.

Now, does that mean we abandon our higher beliefs over us attaining everything we want? Absolutely not, however, this must come in tandem with our willingness to work. Our willingness to step up each day and carve the path we want.

Our beliefs drive our feelings which in turn drives our actions. Think, feel and choose, as the saying goes. A belief trusting solely on something external to have the answers for us is going to result in a false-sense of hope that motivates a lack of action. It’s spiritual bypassing. Yes, you can believe in a higher power and I encourage higher beliefs, but success isn’t found without us.
