When we believe many of the ego thoughts and move into a place of feeling that there’s no hope for us then despair is quick to follow. It feels natural, in a way.
If we believe the insanity of the ego we’ll feel trapped.
If we feel trapped without a way out, then we’re going to feel despair.
It’s very common for people to go through a period of despair on the way to rising up out of the ego’s quagmire. I certainly did. Despair is a systemic hopelessness.
We have the power to choose not just to be hopeful, but to be visionary. We can hold a vision of Love for our lives. Being willing to hold a vision can feel impossible when we’re hopeless. I get that. And still, we can remember that it’s possible to lift our sights.
We don’t have to have a vision of total transformation, but we can. We can have a vision for small things that keep lifting our vibration in order to keep our attention moving in that higher direction.
Having a vision of even a small bit of happiness can make a huge difference in our life.
Spirit is such a powerful thing – and we can let it teach us how to heal the despair by giving it to Spirit for healing.
A willingness to be hopeful even about something small – like being hopeful about having your favorite ice cream or watching your favorite tv show can be transformative.
Energetically, being hopeful about ANYTHING can be life sustaining. I have found it’s very helpful to ask for a sign that we’re on the right path!
We don’t have to live in despair, it’s a choice.
We may not know how to find the choice, but Spirit does. Let’s give Spirit the heavy lifting of removing our despair and pointing the way. Let’s ask for a sign today!
Let’s get away together and have some fun:

Latest ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Cultivating Trust & Faith: Embracing Divine Guidance & Letting Go of Fear. Life offers both low and high vibrational choices; we’ll only be able to recognize the ones that are a vibrational match for us in the moment. In this episode, I share how to bring higher and better choices into our awareness so that we can actively choose a more loving and joyful life. When we have a strong practice of trust, it builds faith and releases worry and anxiety.
