Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. Aristotle says hope is a walking dream. No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible. we must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them.
Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless. While there's life, there's hope. Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. Some says that its hard to be positive all the time when bad things happen to us. Sometimes you may feel you get bad grades in school, job is not comfortable, difficulties in job, you lose your job, your spouse leaves you, Friends lies, relatives may cheat, difficult to get alliances even though everything is good intact etc., there will be million things that will beat down on you and make you feel miserable.
I cannot give a reason why bad things happen. Maybe sometimes its a tough, May be sometimes it's God trying to make us stronger. Maybe sometimes it's just life. I do not know. What I do know is that we must always have hope and faith in God. He made a promise to us and he does not break his promises to us. My sister always used to say hope is faith in the future. I like that. Hope is faith that at same point you will be experiencing a future dream. Whatever it is that you want to do if you hope for it, see it and begin to expect it you will eventually have it. You cannot reach your dreams if you dont have one. You cannot build a better life if you dont think about what it is you want and hope.
You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own. Remember what you see is not always what is real. Hope forms a firm foundation for the future actions you wish to take. If you dont do it then your life will resemble pretty much what it does at present.
I understand now that no one can be perfect, no matter how hard they try, and that strength isn't measured by how far we can run or how many pounds we can lift but instead by how we handle ourselves in the face of adversity. And, most importantly, I've learned to never lose hope because perseverance can get you through any situation, no matter how impossible it may seem. We can never allow ourselves to be hopeless when we are down. Its sure that we might give up hope for some time but it should not be for long time. It is very possible to lose hope in receiving the exact thing that we want. But we must never lose our hope and faith in God.
Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push i.e. a smile, a world of optimism, and hope. In this world you've just got to hope for the best and prepare for the worst and take whatever God sends.
Today, why dont you begin to hope and see what you find in your heart?
