Hope is not blind optimism…

“Hope is not blind optimism. It is rather the complete belief that our natural aspirations for truth, meaning, and purpose will come to full practical realization.”

~Unknown~

I would wish that everyone has hope. Hope is what helps the farmer to sleep at night in peaceful assurance that what he has planted is growing even though he is not seeing it physically.

Hope is what gets me up in the morning with the assurance that today will be better than yesterday. It is infact what wills me up out of my bed so I don’t have to lie there in utter desperate resignation . Hope is what tells us hard is not impossible. It sets my feet in motion and so should it yours.

Hope is what makes us smile at the sunsets despite the full knowledge that sunsets imply that dusk is walking in. With hope we look at dusk and appreciate the stars; after all they shine so bright on a dark night. Even then we don’t stare so long at the sky. We go to bed and rest because hope assures us that there is a dawn.

Hope is what reminds us all on dark cloudy or even stormy days that the sun is still there. The sun is in fact always there but simply not in our sight for that moment.

Hope is what keeps men alive in the most dire situations. By holding onto hope, they fight through battles and win wars. Hope has kept beating hearts beating. It is said that “hope is the last thing ever lost”. So, don’t lose it because:

✓Pain doesn’t last forever

✓if you get through the dusk you’ll usher the dawn

✓joy comes in the morning

✓the universe will align

✓the sun is always there.

Showers of blessings.
