“One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.” — Eleanor Roosevelt

“Today I will remember that I am necessary to others, that my life is not an accident, and that God has a purpose for me.”

– “In God’s Care*: Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery,” May 19
*As We Understand God

The aforementioned words uplift my soul as I still wonder what I am to be when I grow up, what did I come into this lifetime to accomplish. I still don’t know, despite being in the sixth decade of my life. I do know that I’ve not yet completed whatever purpose Spirit has for me to do because I’m still here.

At times I can feel discouraged and overwhelmed, without joy. I am grateful to always believe in hope; it is what keeps me going.

I especially enjoyed these words from the May 17, 2022 “Science of Mind Magazine”:

“Hope is the bird who feels the light and sings when dawn is still dark.” — Rabindranath Tagore

“If it were not for the divine hope in us, our experiences would be more than the human mind could digest.” — Ernest Holmes

Hope is a game changer, a life saver, for me. Perhaps when I learn what my life purpose is, then it will be my driving force, my joy. In the meanwhile, I’m grateful, oh so grateful, that divine hope lives in me.
