These exercises are not definitive, but can help you in determining just how hopeful you really are. There is no particular goal for the tests, but the subjects in which you have a low number, or low expectations, these might be a good places to start working on how hopeful you are in life. Even a positive person can find places where hopefulness is low, and bitterness might be present. There are hidden pockets of consciousness, even in the healer. If you are lucky enough to find these pockets of “dark consciousness” you can work with them. One of the most common areas of lack of hope in metaphysically inclined people is hopefulness for the healing of the world, humanity and the earth itself. It is of utmost importance to develop hope for humanity, or all is lost indeed!
Finding hope in life is, in a way, the juice behind positive thinking. Without hope, positive thinking is impossible, and a positive attitude will be out of reach. As you know, a positive attitude creates the reality you have always wanted. Find the places where you have little hope of a positive outcome in having the things you need or desire, having a healthy in body, mind and spirit, and having fulfilling relationships. These are holding you back from having a great life. Work with them and help others to find more help through your example. Your attitude and outlook on life speaks much louder than any words you can ever say. Hope is a sure sign of the presence of God, and is a sure sign that you are someone who is qualified to heal and teach others. Develop your hopefulness, cultivate it and help it grow. Remove old programming that might be hindering it, and move into a hopeful attitude. Let hopefulness be your signature tone and attitude, and see how your life changes.
