Real Hope vs. False Hope
One of the dangers of coming to a website like this one and looking for encouragement is that you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for. You see, encouragement isn’t always a good thing, no matter what the wellness gurus on TV might want you to think. In some cases, you need to be realistic enough that, while you’re shooting for the moon, you don’t forget your rocket pack.
What we’re talking about today is this idea of real hope versus false hope. You see, there’s a danger that you’ll come to this site and leave with false hope instead of real hope. That false hope, while it may make you feel better for a few moments, won’t help you conceive.
Here are some ways to think about real and false hope:
- Real hope tells you that most fertility struggles can indeed be overcome. False hope tells you that most fertility struggles can indeed be overcome with little or no effort.
- Real hope recognizes the power of positive thinking. False hope relies solely on the power of positive thinking.
- Real hope uses every tool at your disposal to help you achieve your goals (such as the goal of getting pregnant). False hope expects your goals to just occur with little or no effort on your part.
- Real hope uses ovulation calculators, basal body thermometers and charts cervical mucus to determine the best time for conception. False hope makes a guess and hopes to get the timing of conception right.
- Real hope recognizes the possibility that you may not conceive. False hope tells you that you will no matter what.
- Real hope trusts that there is a plan and pattern to your life, and that you will be all right regardless of the outcome. False hope tells you that the only possible good outcome is the one you’re hoping for.
- Real hope sends you to the fertility clinic, utilizes ovulation tracking and looks into herbal ways to help fertility. False hope picks just one solutions and declares it to be the right one.
So, what kind of baby hopes do you have?
