Hope is a Beggar

"Why not take a chance on faith, not religion, but faith. Not, hope, I don't believe in hope...Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire and FAITH leaps over it." ...Jim Carrey

Did I capture your attention just now? I hope so...oops, I have 'faith' that I did. Lol.

I fell in love with that quote after listening to a youtube video of Jim Carrey delivering an inspiring and moving commencement speech. One of the WA members had recommended this video on her blog, (thanks Debbie) and it was the perfect message for me to listen to as a 'newbie', especially since I had just written my very first blog here all about HOPE, and how I was now filled with HOPE for the very first time in a long time since becoming a member at WA. How fitting!

So, I have been really contemplating what that message implies. For me, it means one can't just dream, one needs to have faith in SELF and the ability to make what one is dreaming into a reality. Hope sees an opportunity as just that, an opportunity, a 'possibility'; I hope I succeed, I hope I am prosperous, I hope this is where I need to be and what I need to be doing. While faith sees all things as a KNOWINGNESS; I will succeed, I will be prosperous, I am exactly where I need to be doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing. I AM THAT I AM.

We are all going to be tested on our journey here at WA. The fears we have about being successful and prosperous will come to the surface, especially if we are still placing our focus on 'hope'. And while I still find myself hoping at times that things will go well for me, I find that I am even more inspired with faith as I make progress on my website each day, despite the chaos of the world that is sometimes going on around me.

Soon, I won't just be walking by the fire, I'll be leaping over it!

Here's the link to Jim's video...enjoy!
