Below you will find Yvonne Pointer’s Inspirational message from today:
“Hello, my name is Yvonne Pointer, welcome to the Hope Haven, a dwelling place of possibilities. Some people don’t like to get their hopes up, do they? You know why, they are trying to avoid the disappointment of not receiving what they hoped for. It’s almost like living life without any expectations. I get that. But, one of the reasons that you watch our Hope Haven series is to find out how to move beyond your disappoint, right? I am glad that you are here today because I am going to share with you a sure fire way of doing just that. The disappoints of life can also be the fuel that can help you keep going. Disappoints are not failures! They are proof that you are still alive! Did you know that Thomas Edison made over 10,000 attempts when inventing the lightbulb? That could have been very disappointing but it was his viewpoint of the situation that saved the day. He was quoted as saying, “I’ve not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that it won’t work.” Could your disappoints possibly be your best teacher? Just as when you were little and your parents taught you not to touch the hot stove because you would get burnt. Disappoints on our journey of becoming has taught us what not to do again, right? So when you get up and look down and you are still on this side of the dirt, know this, that it could possibly be the disappoints in your life that have kept you standing. So march on!”
