Sometimes, Round Two: Day 20 of 365 – Hope, Chaos and Dreams!

Sometimes Hope Punches Through The Chaos That Surrounds Us And Breathes Life Into Our Battered Dreams!

We all have dreams! Dreams are what drive us. Dreams are what keep us focused. Dreams help give life meaning. Dreams can also create distress, especially when chaos surrounds them and threatens to choke them into nothingness.

Dreams tend to go away rather slowly. They are subject to the ebb and flow of life. This fact can be frustrating at times. Unfulfilled dreams often hang on longer than we think they should, occupying space inside our emotional and mental landscape. They dangle themselves in front of us, toying with our destiny.  Sometimes our dreams find fruition and sometimes they shrivel on the vine. Most of the time, our dreams dance between the two extremes finding varying degrees of fulfillment. Sometimes, they even change and become better, more defined; that is as long as we give them room to breathe and roam.

The problem with life’s Chaos is that it sometimes surrounds us like soupy fog and seeps through the cracks of our uncertainty, obscuring our sight. When that happens, we often wonder what caused us to dream the dream, believe in the dream and pursue the dream to begin with. We feel foolish, empty . . . deceived.

What can help clear our path? What can cause the fog to dissipate? HOPE! Sometimes Hope Punches Through The Chaos That Surrounds Us And Breathes Life Into Our Battered Dreams! When our Dreams are on their last leg, gasping for air, choking on the heaviness of Chaos, HOPE finds a way!

Hope, that almost indescribable catalyst, infuses us with the will to continue following our Dreams. It energizes our intent. It clarifies our vision. It Breathes Life back into those Battered Dreams. It encourages us to pursue our Dreams another day!

Peace!

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1994 and a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor since 2011. I received my BA in Sociology and Psychology from Hardin-Simmons University and my Master’s in Counseling from the University of North Texas.

I specialize in the field of loss/grief and have written, trained, and presented workshops on loss/grief since 1990. Helping clients learn to work toward reconciliation and integration of life losses is the basis of my work in this area.

My wife and I are both therapists and often work together with couples in our practice. We find that couples respond well to our co-therapist approach.
