There
will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with
hard work, there are no limits. - Michael Phelps
Optimism
is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and
confidence. - Helen Keller
Recently,
the author was listening to Daily Hope, the daily podcast of Rick Warren, and
he told the story of a submarine that sunk in the Newport News harbor in Virginia
on its return voyage at the end of World War II. The United States Coast Guard sent divers down
to the sunken submarine to discover what happened and when the divers arrived, they
heard a sailor inside tapping in Morse Code “Is there hope?”
They
say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone
to love, something to do, and something to hope for. - Tom Bodett
Dream
achievement is not easy and requires hard work, persistence, determination and
patience. There are many dreams the
author has been working on/waiting on for more than 10 years. Often times, frustration, despair, doubt and
disappointment begin to set in for the author when she thinks about the fact
that she has no control over accomplishing a dream and starts to lose hope. During the waiting times, the author has
learned it is important to keep pushing forward, focus on what she can do, help
other people, be grateful for what she has and remain strong in hope that her
dreams will come to fruition.
CHALLENGE: As you prepare for
2020, what dreams have you been waiting a long time on? What happened in 2019 that moved you closer
to accomplishing those dreams? Take those
events as hope and encouragement to press toward making even more progress on your
dreams in 2020.
