Episode 40 - Practicing Hope

Hope exhorts courage and is underneath any forward movement toward our life goals. It is also something we can give to and receive from others. What is your current hope for yourself and the world? How can we use Hope powerfully in our lives? These are questions we explore in this episode.

NOTES:

Faith originates in Understanding, concentrates on Truth, is present, an inner gift of Spirit

Hope originates in Will, concentrates on possibility, is future oriented, a gift you can give to or receive from others

“If we can find ways to increasehope, maybe we can decrease defensive aggression.”  Nir Halevy, Organizational behavior professor, Stanford
