Hopefully, You Are Reading This!

In every human heart, there is hope.

It is hope which makes us buy a lottery ticket.

It is hope which makes us walk up the altar for the first time –maybe even the second, third, fourth or eighth time.

It is hope which makes us try a new diet or fitness plan.

It is hope which makes us send out another resume, or read another job-hunting book.

It is hope which makes us get back up when we are down.

It is hope which makes us submit a creative work in spite of repeated rejections.

It is hope which makes us go to marriage counseling.

It is hope which makes us give up a paying job to pursue a dream.

It is hope which makes us believe we are never too old to start something new.

It is hope which makes us believe we can turn failure into success.

It is hope which makes us try a new medicine or agree to participate in a clinical trial.

It is hope which enables us to pitch an idea until it is accepted.

It is hope which makes us believe a disability is not an obstacle to our dreams.

It is hope which makes us fight for causes with limited resources.

It is hope which makes us believe we can pursue social and political change without violence.

It is hope which empowers us to be the kind of person who can be authentic and speak our truth.

It is hope which helps us turn something bad into something good.

It is hope which makes us pack up our bags and move to a different locale in pursuit of a better life.

Hope.

It’s what makes things possible.

So whether you are going through something big - or going for something big  – remember, if you’ve got hope, you’ve got plenty.

Keep going…. keep the faith.
