Episode 188 - The Hope Paradox

Updated: 18 hours ago


Podcast: Play in new window


I'm notoriously not-so-organized, but I've definitely improved over the years. One day I was catching myself in an old thought pattern (something like, "why can't you just do your routines on time each day and keep the house tidy?") when I had a totally new thought:


What if I was NEVER going to be tidy?


What if, after 120 years, I went to shamayim and the check-in angel (is that a thing?) chuckles and says, "but you were NEVER going to be tidy. That wasn't the life you were given--you didn't go into a brain that DOES tidy."


My first reaction would be: "ohhhhh I wasted a LOT of energy."


I don't mean the energy spent on figuring stuff out. I love figuring stuff out.


But the energy invested in wishing I would change. HOPING I would change. WAITING for it to click...


It's not a resonant, grounded, faith-full hope, it's a "if I squeeze my eyes and hope hard enough this thing I hate could go away!" hope.


What if your kid was NEVER going to be a good student and you could just drop the whole thing and focus on helping her be a great PERSON?


What if your husband was never going to be traditionally romantic--it was NEVER going to happen? What about him could you discover if you dropped that?


I don't believe hope is always a problem. But it can be weaponized. Sneaky little feeling.
