 Here's Dave Ramsey with today's Ramsey reality check. Hope causes you to be able to move forward. When you think the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train, you're frozen. You get paralysis of the analysis. When you think at the light at the end of the tunnel is the way out, then you run to the light. It's amazing to me the power of our brain to do things that are way beyond what we thought we could do once we believe that they're possible. That's called hope.
