Hope is a powerful word. What is hope? It is the belief in possibility. It is the belief in something better in the future. Hope gets you through tough times. Hope gives you the strength to keep fighting, surviving and progressing forward in life. Don’t confuse hope with optimism.  Optimism is confidence in yourself for the future. Hope is the belief that whatever it is will happen or improve, with or without you being involved.

If you want to help others, if you want to live a positive life, be the one who believes in hope. Be the one who pushes out negative thoughts with a radical grip on hope. Hope and courage go hand in hand. You can be terrified of the future but if you have hope you can find the courage to keep going.

Don’t quit. Keep moving forward hoping for better things.

Believe in hope.
