Power Struggle...

Why do we resist doing what we can in this moment? Because we might
fail. If you get right down to the core of it, you will see that
people act powerless because it's far easier to blame circumstances
than go ahead and do it anyway, and maybe look really stupid in the
process. So we give our power away to others. It's like we're
saying, "No, please, YOU take my power. This way I can blame YOU if
things don't work out".

Hope attempts to prove we're powerless.

We say things like...

-I am not the one in charge here, so there is really nothing I can do.

-I believe my fate is in God's hands.

-They won't let me...(government, rich people, or anyone else who
 appears to have more power)

-What is the use of trying? The odds are clearly stacked against me.

These are nothing more than assumptions.  Assumptions are
characterized by the habit of taking for granted that something is
true when it is not.  Questions you must ask are, "Is my assumption
true or false? What proof or evidence do I have about my
assumption? "

What's more stupid than a stupid question? The answer is an
incorrect assumption.

Think of this in terms of your return on investment. In business
we focus heavily on the ROI (return on investment), but we forget
to use that same concept throughout the rest of our lives.
When we fail to do what we want because of an assumption, we are
forgetting about the concept of ROI. What would be the ROI for
doing it anyway, even if someone somewhere holds the assumption
that it is impossible? If all any of us ever did was follow our
assumptions, we would still be afraid of falling off the edge of
the earth.

Is it wrong to hope or have expectations? Absolutely not. However,
the tipping point where hope turns into defeat is when hope keeps
us from doing what we can do in the moment.

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT!  No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.
