I don't remember seeing you say it anywhere, but I believe add a way to incite hope for the future/present in LTU 5.5 would be a good inclusion if it isn't already.
Hope, while positive feeling, sounds a bit passive. It´s like you are hoping things to happen (or not to happen), but not really doing anything to make them happen. There are probably more empowering states than that which would be more useful in LTU. Then again, maybe that is just my own (limited?) perception of what hope means. My subconscious mind might go like "Let´s hope for the best...while I don´t actually have to DO anything" instead of "Let´s do everything we can to achieve our goals AND hope that all goes well...". Even with later statement, the hope sounds like not owning the thing.
There are two major forms of hope. The form of hope that is preservative of action, and the form of hope that is used to reduce action.
If one is facing tough challenges to their ability to accomplish something, and they lose hope, they will tend to stop seeing the value in continuing to try, and give up.
Giving up = guaranteed failure.
That is the good kind of hope.
The other kind of hope is, "Wow, this is hard. I'll just sit here and hope for something to come along and fix it for me."
This kind of hope is choosing to not act, and not try, and "hope for the best" so you don't have to try, but you still have an excuse to keep focusing on the goal. This sort of hope is not helpful.
The first kind of hope is going to be used in LTU.
Thanks for the input Shannon, makes sense.
