Consider gratitude over hope
Both are certainly dope
But hope says
I wish and I want
Where gratitude says
I am and I have
Hope is well-intended
And that certainly counts
But it comes from a place of lack
Which ultimately is a setback
We hope to become
And we hope to receive
Certain things outside of us
That we perceive
To be out of reach
On the other hand
Gratitude puts those things in our hands
It reflects the abundance within us and all around us
It aligns our energy to feel like there's plenty
It keeps us open to receiving
And reminds us
The mind-body only believes in
What we believe in
If you're curious
Try this...
Think of something that makes you happy
A person, place, or thing that tugs on your heart-strings
Send some gratitude there
And notice what happens then
Do you feel lighter?
Perhaps a bit brighter?
Is there a slight smile on your face?
Did you take a deep breath
And forget about this current time and place?
While that thought you were having
Wasn’t actually happening
Your mind-body thought it was
So that change your current state of being
That’s the power of thought
And our choice to make
What choice will you choose
When it comes to the life
You want to create?
