About this episode
Hope is a risk because it's a choice. It's choosing to move forward when we'd rather quit. It's asking for help when we'd rather not. It's saying I'm worth it when the world wants us to devalue ourselves. It's risky to want things, to hope for a better tomorrow, to have faith that things can improve. Because they might not. We aren't guaranteed anything in this life - even tho we'd like to think so. One of the biggest obstacles to hope is the belief that things will always be the way they are right now. We tend to settle into a sense of sameness - even when things are anything but. Change is constant. We know this rationally, but it doesn't mean we always see things that way. When the simple things we rely on aren't working anymore where do we turn? What can we do?
