Those of us who have hope in our hearts must engage in hopeful work.

Change is not coming, it’s been here! Living in a fast-paced, frantic, interconnected, interdependent, and complex world impacts us differently, yet directly. With each event, local, national and global we are pulled and feel the effect differently.

Often referred to as the VUCA — Volatile Uncertain Complex Ambiguous world is in full swing. Sadly, many can not keep up with the continuous news cycle, unplanned disruptions and much more. It is no surprise that most of the conversations with my clients have been about trying to regain control, keep emotions in check, maintain internal health and balance. In the US, the events have become more pointedly psychological and there is damage to the psyche.

But I have hope…and I remember the words of Dr. King, “Everything that is done in this world is done by hope.”

Then I am reminded of the promise of the future as well, “It is because of hope that you suffer. It is through hope that you’ll change things.” — Maxime Lagacé

My faith informs my worldview and I know hope is an active ingredient within the soul of humanity. As long as we are alive, there is still hope.

I am confident that we will live through any hopelessness and I hope you will pray for the families and communities directly by senseless acts of hatred and evil. Also equally important, we must hopefully push our leaders to go beyond offering condolences to addressing these deeply rooted issues plaguing our nations and the world at large.

I want to remind you that, those of us who have hope in our hearts must engage in hopeful work.

The work of spreading hope.
The hope within you will keep you alive and well.

Please spread some today!
