The hope that we will reach all of the goals that we set for ourselves is a natural reaction to a universe that seems to be out of our control. Hope however is only the first step in the realization of our dreams. The Biblical statement that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of that which remains unseen is the key to grabbing hold of what you are.
Many people get so caught up in the circumstance of life and the way that they see themselves, they forget that their hopes are who they are as a person. These hopes are your connection to the material universe. Why then, are so many falling short of or never even trying to reach the hopes that they long for. The modern framework of our society teaches us that we need to be realistic. This is a good fundamental principle, but the problem is the definition that people resort to in determining what is realistic for them to accomplish in life.
We are constantly comparing ourselves to others or at the very least other circumstances and many times we fail to realize that who we are is not defined by the circumstance or situations that we have seen in our past. The past does not determine the future and there are no rules when it comes to being realistic. The true realism is the realization that your hopes and dreams are who you are. Because of this you are connected by energy to the things that you hope for. Don’t be so quick to discount what you are able to accomplish. This thought process could lead to the average life of accepting other peoples definition of being realistic, rather than the life that you could have had if you would have only believed that you are what you desire.
