Hope is so important, don’t you agree? Sometimes it seems hope just . . . disappears! Or – you can barely it see through a pinhole of hope. Regardless, just like –

  • Life-saving fluids enter your body through a “pinhole” of an IV needle.
  • The “pinhole” of a telescope, microscope, camera, or binoculars provides a refined, clearer view –

 

– so the “pinhole” of hope gives you a more realistic view of life. This is critical – especially during difficult seasons.

The highest motive is often identified when a person, family, community, or country is under duress. For instance, both world wars gave the global public – and nations – opportunities to choose motives that are honorable despite risks, sacrifices, and cost.

Incidentally, it’s helpful to know your personal highest motive. Additionally, to let it propel you into opportunities each day. Also, this gives you influence and purpose.
