Having Hope - Holding Hope

Sometimes we may feel hope is all we have. We hope a situation will turn out well or we hope someone will get better but what is hope really? Hope is a belief and a thought that you put forward that is actually a show of positivity when used in this manner. When someone near to you is very ill with a disease like cancer, you will find sometimes hope is all you have to hold onto and the knowledge that the Divine will carry you through. This will help you hold on to hope and ride out the worst situations.

When you're angry you may hope something rotten happens to whoever wronged you, they get splashed by a car passing by or step in a present a dog has left on the walk - but you really don't mean those things after you've cooled down. You may even hope your rotten thoughts don't come true - that again is using hope.

Above all, never lose the ability to hope. Try to see the positive in every situation and you will that your positivity is catching. Teach other people the value of hope - it's always an option!
