The Tide-Turning Power of Hopeنموونە

Let me ask you a pointed question: What if your circumstances don’t change? An even more difficult question to confront is this: What if your circumstances get worse?

One of the most revitalizing, hope-building decisions you can make is to forge purpose from your pain.

It’s easy to focus on the darker shades of the palette of life. But do we have a full appreciation of the true beauty and majesty that life can bring?

The wonder of a star-filled spring night, the feeling that comes from laughing so hard you cry, old friends, raising children, building a career, buying a puppy, making a difference in someone’s life, seeing prayers answered.

Forging purpose while you are suffering is a way of exploring the brighter end of the spectrum—the side of wonder, of laughter, of joy.

The purpose you develop must be bigger than the pain you have endured.
