Last night we saw the movie Hope Springs. It stars Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones and Steve Carrell. A couple who've been married for 31 years have gotten into a routine that is sucking the life out of both of them. The wife wants to re-energize the relationship. Her husband has accepted what is and settles.
I think many people in the audience could relate to a number of the scenarios. And the message over riding the movie was that hope springs but perhaps unlike the expression....maybe not eternally.
If you want to change something you have to be willing to change yourself. Don't settle for what is if what is makes you unhappy. Hope can spring eternal if you are willing to do the work to make the changes you desire. It may take others around you longer but if you can see a hint of willingness in them keep showing them there is another way. If you don't see that willingness that's when hope dies.
I pray that you be willing to create the life you want to live.
