Beingahope- ful person is ad- mirable. It is wonderful to be someone full of openness to the possibilities and hopeful that ev- erything will work out for the best. I consider myself a positive person and that could be translated to being called hopeful, but putting all of your faith in hope can leave you addicted to hope-ium. Action favors the suc- cessful. Success is rel- ative and doesn't mean the same thing to ev- eryone. No matter your definition, action, more than hope, is the key. Action steps make the likelihood of what you are hoping for more of a reality than passively wishing for things to go the way you intend. Do you hope that you lose weight? Do you hope that things work out with the person you are at odds with? Do you hope that you get the job? Do you hope that you have enough money to last until the end of the month? In each of these sce- narios hoping is great, in that it puts the is- sues at the forefront of your mind. It makes you aware of what you want. That is a great thing, but leaving it at that, is not going to make things magically happen. Cast- ing your responsibility onto hope is like leaving your child unattended and believing things will all work out for the best. You can't do that. It is ir- responsible to think that the most effort you need to take to get a result is to hope that it happens. Being addicted to hope is sort of like a dys- functional relationship. The hope serves you sometimes because of the odds. Odds are that some of the things you hope for, will work out without much effort, but the truth is, the bigger things may not. When things don't work out, you blame the universe, God or hope, believing that you wanted it so badly and it didn't mate- rialize. If, after you set the goal or develop the hopefulness, you map out a plan and take action, the odds increase that you will see the result you are hoping for. As you take actions and succeed, you real- ize that hoping isn't as key to your outcome as action is. This is true of most areas of life. If you hope to lose weight and you wait for some di- vine mind shift that di- minishes your appetite and makes you crave physical exercise, you're gonna stay fat. If you hope that you get the job, but make hardly any effort to stand out from the other prospects, chances are, you're go- ing to remain unem- ployed. Do you hope that your finances manage themselves and that you have enough money to last the month? If you haven't paid attention to what money is coming in, how you are creating expenses and how you are spending, no amount of hope will keep you from being overdrawn. While I wholeheart- edly endorse being an optimistic, ethereal, prayerful and hopeful person, I suggest that action accompany the notion that everything works out the way it is supposed to or for the best. I absolutely believe in a divine order, God's plan and all of that, but I also believe in oppor- tunity, free will and our responsibility to co-cre- ate what it is we say we want. Don't let hope get a bad reputation. Take ownership of getting what you want from life. Break your hope-ium ad- diction and take action towards what you want.

"Penner's exceptional professionalism, persever- ance and devotion to duty reflect credit upon him and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Ser- vice," the commendation reads.

LOS MOLINOS A Day of Service is planned for 9 a.m. to noon Friday, July 25 at the Los Molinos Vet- erans Hall. This is the 50th anniver- sary for Community Ac- tion in the United States. Founded during the John- son administration as the activator in communities across the country to fight the war on poverty, the lo- cal agency has served Te- hama County residents since the late 1960s.
