Hope is Not An Energetic Business Strategy
     by Susan James   

I've written before of The Role of Hope In Business. It does have a role, but as Donald Trump clearly states in his newest book, Trump; "Hope is Not a Strategy."

From an energetic place, meaning, looking at hope from a vibrational-light energy view, hope is an unclear prayer. And unclear prayers-desires/intentions usually look to us as though they go unanswered -- un-manifest.

Therefore, to use "Gee, I hope this thing works out ok for my business/lifestyle" is not the way to make it happen; at least not any time soon. And the more we go about it in hopeful ways, then the more frustration usually shows up which keeps us thinking about "it's not here yet" (ie:lack energy vibration)

I don't pretend to speak for Mr. Trump, he of course does that quite well in word and deed, but I would dare to venture that hope has little to do with his level of success.

Those of us in the arena of teaching ourselves higher levels of manifesting skill and hoping that evidence of same shows up in our physical lives, have to discard the idea of hope early on. We can not hope that the new tools we are using and doing, actually work. We have to know that they work. (Even Thomas asked Jesus to show him his scars.)

Many of us need some bridge building to believe that it works. Some of it comes from watching others use it successfully, and then we give it a go. Others of us listen to ourselves a bit better and go ahead and walk the plank of applying the knowledge first hand, and thus show themselves the results.

But in either case, the line of hope has to be left behind. We can use hope while we are getting clear on what we really want. And many of us are not at all clear. And if we think we are, we do not know how to state the verbiage that will bring us what we are thinking we want. There is a mechanics and technique to all of this, and Hope plays a part, but a small part.

If You and I want what we want, then we can't use hope as our tool to bring it to us. Using hope would be like trying to nail a nail into a board with a wet noodle, when what we need is a hammer.

Moral of The Story? We might want to stop trying to use hope as our Strategy, it's an empty one. And with empty hope comes empty promises and dreams unfulfilled.
