Hope

Never lose hope, because hope is what is keeping you alive, as well as our vital organs and sustenance. Each and every one of us wants to be or even aspires to be hopeful. When you assess all the obstacles and challenges you may face, you sometimes wonder if there is any hope at all. It is only natural that you question the circumstances you are faced with, but it is better to review, reflect, and never wallow about those challenges. Challenging times are no doubt difficult, despite all you endure. Consider this period as a test of your will and endurance to survive. During these grim times, being hopeful can surprise you in an effective way. Hope gives us something to look forward to, like a new adventure, job, business, good health, meeting someone special or even a new friend. I have been tested on so many levels, at times I even felt hopeless. Regardless of what you face in life, overcoming the obstacles and challenges that you may face defines us, and sets us apart from others. Spreading hope, by caring and sharing will no doubt help others, at the same time it will have a profound impact on yourself and those around you. Hope can be contagious, why not? By way of catharsis, even the doubtful are discovering surprises.

I am an optimist, but at the same time I am a realist when it matters the most. This is how I remain hopeful about my future, despite the uncertainty at times. When you find yourself facing unexpected challenges, stop and take a moment to assess, reflect, and adjust. Sometimes when you least expect, hope somehow shines through and enables you to find that renewed assurance. Challenging oneself is very fulfilling and rewarding, as it creates an opportunity for renewed hope. A positive change of mindset allows you to be hopeful, while at the same time you are taking the appropriate steps towards a better you. Keep in mind that sometimes we may face roadblocks along our journey in life, just do not let it stop you or diminish the hope within you. Surround yourself with a support system of family and friends that are as or even much more optimistic as yourself. Hope can be contagious, and that is a good thing because it will keep your spirits up. Never deny yourself the feeling of being hopeful, since I can attest that hope has made a considerable difference in my life. Remember hope never dies, unless you or someone else creates its demise.
