Finding Hope In Spite of Appearances
Nov 09, 2016
When you understand the laws of thought, it becomes possible to look at life's problems and actually feel good about them. And there are real rewards for those who do.
Hey there — this is going to be one of my deeper posts. I want to speak directly to any of my readers who are carrying something especially heavy right now.
I'm about to throw some deep philosophical truths your way — because heavy things deserve a deeper discussion. So before we dive in, take a moment to slow down. Read these next few lines carefully. Let them settle in. See if they ring true:
- Courage does not eliminate fear, but knowledge does.
Awareness of truth is the power behind a rare kind of faith.- Lack of awareness is like darkness. But darkness is merely the absence of light. Since a dark room can be illuminated with just a tiny light, it doesn't take much to make a big difference.
- The right kind of knowledge has the same effect on a doubting or fearful heart or mind. It doesn't take much to make a big difference.
- So, if you feel smothered in the darkness of fear and uncertainty, it only takes a little bit of knowledge, and the fear shrinks away like darkness in an illuminated room.
As fear is replaced with faith, something powerful starts to happen. Your emotions shift. And when your emotions change, your outer world starts shifting, too—sometimes subtly at first, but inevitably.
With the right kind of knowledge increasing your faith, something interesting happens: people begin responding to you differently, often without even realizing why. Someone who never gave you the time of day might suddenly strike up a conversation. That connection might lead you to the very thing you've been looking for. Or maybe you’ll find yourself drawn to go somewhere you hadn’t planned to go—and there it is. The next step. The next clue. The breakthrough.
You might not see how it all fits together right away. Most of us don’t, until we look back. But what you can control right now is how you feel about what’s going on. And if you’re struggling to feel hopeful, add some knowledge.
Because how you feel leads to choices. And those choices either take you closer to your goal or further away from it.
Faith is feeling "hope" and "expectation". Both are necessary for success.
I know—it's hard to have faith when everything around you feels like it's falling apart. That’s exactly why I wrote Hidden Treasures.
Hidden Treasures gives you the kind of knowledge I’m talking about. It answers the question:
"How can I have faith and genuinely feel good about all the bad stuff I have to deal with?"
Even though I share my story through the lens of my own religious/spiritual background, this book has touched people from all walks of life. Over the last 10 years, I’ve been humbled by kind words from readers of many different faiths—Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, and even those who don’t consider themselves religious at all, but who still care deeply about living in alignment with spiritual truth.
Because no matter our background, we’re all doing our best to live by truth. Happiness depends on it—and so does prosperity.
In Hidden Treasures, you'll discover 7 powerful truths that can help you live by faith more effectively. These principles provide the kind of knowledge that cuts through fear and uncertainty like light in a dark room. You'll come to see why—yes—you really can feel grateful and even excited about your hardships right now.
Skeptical? Good. That means you’re thoughtful. I challenge you to read it without feeling better. See if you can get through it without feeling more faith. Without experiencing even a subtle shift in your thinking or in your life.
Then, go on living your life as usual. You’ll start to notice—when you add awareness to the mix, even familiar routines start producing better results.
