That's my question for you today.
Why do you even bother?
With so many discouraging moments, so many disappointments, why do you still bother to try?
Because you've got a reason. Even if you've forgotten it up til now.
It's there somewhere, giving you hope, keeping you believing in something changing in your life for you even if it's so hard to see.
There's a reason I'm asking you this today. I want YOU to hear from yourself WHY you still bother. Why you haven't given up all hope of your life ever being different, why you're still here.
I want to stir up some excitement, some passion left in you. Some determination, some motivation to finally crack your own code for why you still have enough hope to come back here every time.
What's your reason?
There's something stronger than you believe you are that's not giving up on your story ending here. What is that? What does that look like for you?
Don't underestimate the power of you knowing your why, your reason that STILL gives you hope even if it's not always obvious to you.
There's a reason, girl. Time to remember what yours is!
Take a moment to think about this and then put it down in the comments. It makes all the difference in the world when you say it out loud and write it down right there in front of you!
Love,
Jane

Despite my frustration with men I would hate to give up hope that someone is out there for me. What kind of life would it be if you did not have something to look forward to?
Jane says
One of the best reasons I've ever had for anything!

I think there’s still that glimmer of hope because we’ve known one another since we were kids. So how could he not want to continue our relationship? Thing is, I want to continue but he didn’t. Relationships involve two people wanting to make things work. When it’s just one-sided the relationship will never workout. I need to come to terms to this fact and try to recall all the times/moments he wasn’t nice to me.

How can I find my why? I'm clueless.
Jane says
If you gave up all hope and threw in the towel, what would be that pang of hope that kept you wondering if you did the right thing? What would call you back, ask you to try again for another day? What would be the retreat, the "what if?" the "maybe I was wrong"? Try that!

Because we weren't meant to do it alone, hence why God made Eve for Adam a help-meet! So this is why I still have hope! I can do life as a single mumma but I would the other half of me so we can compliment one another...I still have hope as little promises keep popping up to remind me...esp the ones from scripture...when you know, you know!

Because I have much more love inside to share -- not only with friends, parents and students. I have so much to give, i just need someone with same capacity of loving and ability so see me for who I am.
Thank you, Jane. I needed this today.

Because I do not feel like my life is complete without that other person there. I like myself and I like my time is alone but in order for me to feel truly hole in at my best potential I’m just the type of person that needs that other person there
