The Power of Hope
The Power of Hopeby Ralph CarpioIs hope an asset or a liability? Is it a commodity or a waste oftime?Take a look at the following and see if you notice a pattern: Wishingupon a star, blowing out birthday candles, stepping on a crack thatbreaks your mother's back, dropping a coin in a well or a fountain.If you look closely, you will observe a common factor. millworkwood, impactscrewdriver, aussiegrillparts. In each ofthese concepts, all power and control is placed outside the self.The power is in the star, the candle, or in the crack in thesidewalk or in the well or fountain. mapsofkrakatoa, gpsnetworking. The source of the change isalways placed away from the self. unitarianuniversalists. In some cases you are not evenpermitted to voice aloud your wish because to do so cancels your wishand you don't want to tempt the fates.But does this make hoping or expecting a useless state of mind?I have found that when your hope is placed outside of yourself, youmay be setting yourself up for a fall. glassetagere. After years of frustrating,seemingly futile attempts to steer my life in certain directions, Ifell into a deep depression. hometanningbed, smellyfoot, treatingthrush. After some soul searching, I discoveredthis was directly related to a feeling of helplessness, whichtranslated into a lack of hope.However, I took these feelings and began a deep, internal searchthat led me right back to myself as the source of power and change.When you internalize the concept of self as the ultimate power, youposition yourself to make valid and concrete changes in your life. strawgrass, rotaryirons, starofindiana. Mynew inner vision led me to an understanding of connection. shawarearug, newstardiana. I began tosee with crystal clarity that we could change the conditions andcircumstances of our lives through our ability to connect withdifferent possibilities.We can accomplish this by using our allowing energy, which isthe very essence of our being. bakedsalmonrecipe. It became very apparent to me that Iwas a being of choice, which inherently makes me a being of power.The irony is that while there is no power in the birthday candleitself, there can be enormous power when you use the candle or othersymbol as an extension of your power.Note the subtle shift when the power is moved from the candle orthe crack in the sidewalk and placed within you. transfervideo. Why is this internalresponsibility important to recognize? If we desire a more peaceful,compassionate world, we won't find it by denying its possibility orby believing that the force for that change is millions of milesaway.We will purposely create such a world by knowing that it isavailable and that it is our own energy that can allow it to unfold.Hope that is placed outside of us may end up doing more harm thangood. massmurder, newcarlocator. Hope that is transformed into an understanding and acceptanceof our own amazing creative power can change everything.Ralph Carpio is the author of "The Constant Creator In You" publishedby Rainbow Books Inc. bellingmark, hyperbaricchamber, laquintahomes.
