Beyond Experience: The Second Truth of Hope
You have to believe in hope beyond your experience and sometimes despite your experience. Just ask Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego about how hope makes a way.
Hope makes space for setting a foundation that allows for living a bold and purposeful life. To live in purpose and on purpose, you have to know your purpose. You have a reason for being here. You just have to grasp it, understand it, and walk it out.
What happens doesn’t dictate what will happen. Hope grows when we move past the circumstances.
Moving Beyond Experience
What happened to you
Hope is beyond experience, so you can’t let what happened to you before limit your ability to hope in something different.
What happened to others
Limiting your journey to other’s experiences limits the ability to move from where you are.
What are the limits
Hope moves beyond feelings or experiences so that it grows up into something limitless.
What is impossible
Once you determine it’s impossible, it’s no longer possible.
What is ordinary and customary
You can’t live ordinary and achieve extraordinary.
Living Past the Circumstances
Hope fuels the ability to reach the extraordinary. It is about getting beyond the experiences – the experiences that you encountered, that others encounter, or that circumstances have declared – so that you break out of those limits they create.
When you embrace hope beyond experience then you set a foundation that will weather the storm.
