Hope Is...

There is nothing more intriguing and beautiful than humanity’s resilience, even in the face of death. We simply refuse to die, despite having hundreds of dangerous species-wide extinctions at worst. Still, perseverance kept the human race alive, even thriving through life’s challenges when we look at the present day. Our ability to shape our surroundings, improve our technology, and put deadly diseases aside are only a few of our great capabilities. We now live a comfortable life, with people striving to improve the world as you read this. When you look up at a storm, there will always be one spot in the clouds where the sun and moon still shines. That light in the sky is what we call hope.

Hope is bravery. Sometimes in life, there will be times where you must take risks. Whether you are trying to get the favor of business sponsors or sailing alone through the rough seas. This is what we call a “Leap of Faith.” If you want to claim your victory over something, you must do something to take it. Good things come to those who don’t wait around. If you have a dream to become an athlete, it’s worth starting practice right now! If you’re over the age of fifty and want to bake, then pull up a YouTube video! If you’re a high school student who wants to be a novelist, then there’s no shame in pursuing it!

Hope is happiness. Hope is greatly associated with happiness because hope shows a sign of good things happening. If you were in a drawing competition for the first time, but the announced winner wasn’t you, feeling sad or upset is completely normal. However, if you hear the announcer say that the winner had won three in a row and they are looking for a first-timer, then of course you’d be back in your high hopes. You will feel a burst of determination and happiness since you have a second chance. A second chance to win.

Hope is near. You may be in the darkest moment of your life. You may be experiencing some troubling or stressful situations. Just know that hope won’t abandon everyone and will find its time for you. Don’t give up, and never give up. Someone or something is willing to take your hand to help you get back on your feet. The difficulty is just an interference. Hope is the biggest obstacle.

Remember:

“There is no fire without a spark. Make a spark to find your fire.”
