Hopes and Dreams

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

“It is a powerful event when we reclaim our hopes and dreams.  Many of us have lost hope.  We need to find it again.  We can’t influence others without it.

Cynicism and apathy are simply defenses against hope.  People are afraid to hope.  It opens us up to disappointment again.  Hope demands action. You cannot feel hope and remain idle.  Hope demands that you release your comfortable theories about your own limitations and the limitations you perceive in your environment.”

- Annette Simmons, The Story Factor p.217
