Don't Let Your Hopes Down! This entry was posted on 6/13/2007 4:47 PM and is filed under uncategorized. Are you like me? There's something that you really want, like that great job you just interviewed for or a date with that hunk you just met or even a commitment in the relationship you're in BUT you're afraid to get your hopes up because you might be disappointed.
I know, it's so easy to feel that way. So anyway, I was feeling that way this week. I had set my intention to reach a certain monthly income. Later, when I told Bertha about my financial goal I added the dreadful words, "But I don't want to get my hopes up because I might be disappointed..." Bertha jumped on her soapbox quicker than the cat skedaddles when I mention flea treatment. You know she's big into Law of Attraction...what you focus on is what you get...and she brought up a good point. Bertha said that not getting your hopes up...essentially focusing on not being able to get what you want...is the fastest way to not get it. You know, it made perfect sense when she put it that way! I thought back over the years when some well meaning friend or family member would chide me not to get my hopes up...and I didn't. And you guessed it! At least 90% of those things never happened and then I'd think, "Well, I'm glad I didn't get my hopes up..." So now...I'm taking Bertha's advice, "Don't Let Your Hopes Down!" I really like her take on that. I'm already thinking what I'm going to do with the extra income...maybe I'll take the cat for a special treat...but we won't tell her about it yet...wouldn't want her to get her hopes up...or would we?! Have a great week! Don't let your hopes down!
