Hope is crucial if we want to make a change. If there’s hope that things can be better, there’s motivation to make the sacrifices necessary. Hope makes us want to invest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wishing is the opposite of hope. Wishes are a list of things that are impossible or things that only come from magic. Hopes are things that come from us doing something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once we blow out a candle on a cake, our wishing is done. We can check it off the list. When we hope for something, we are just beginning to look at how to make it possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wishing comes from a scarcity mindset. The only way we can get what we want is by throwing a penny in a fountain, or breaking a turkey bone. We have nothing to work with. Hoping comes from abundance. We recognize the assets we already have. Eg: “we have this great team and this winning spirit. I think we can achieve everything we want!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hope comes from a gratitude inventory and desire. Wishes come from complaining and resigning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
