Hope is an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one’s life or the world at large .Dr J. Lopez stated that when we are excited about what is next,we invest more in our daily life and we can see beyond current strategies. Regardless of age,most people have an optimistic bias,generally believing that tomorrow holds some promises and that things can change for the better.

Key element of hope is agency. Agency makes us the author of our life. Its makes us feel responsible for our goals and its what fires up our motivation and persistence when the going gets tough.

Hope allows you to approach problems with mindset and strategy best suitable to success,thereby increasing the chances of accomplishing the goals. Emily Dickson quotes hope as a thing with feathers. It peaches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.

Whatever your mission is,keep moving forward. Stay firm in your mission and take hope as your weapon. Be flexible in your method. There is no tried and blueprint you have to stick to achieve your goals. There are many ways to achieve your goals. Obstacles are a way of strengthening your sense of hope. Nothing worth having comes easy. Hold your head high,move forward and set a belief in your mind that;the future will be better than the present. You have the power to make it so and there are many paths to your goals but none of them are free of obstacles.

I always tell myself that,I don’t know what lies around the bend but I am going to hope that the best does. That what makes me move forward. Its what keeps me focused because there is genuine hope that can bring success to me.

Like a rain on a droughts ridden desert,hope will refresh your life and it will bring you lasting peace.

Bear in mind that, hope is power.

Every cloud has a silver lining

“My plans are ruined!” “What am I going to do now?” “Why did this have to happen?” These are our immediate reactions to every setbacks in our life. Its natural but disappointment should wear off immediately because you have a choice to make. Do not wallow in misery and dwell on the negative aspect of the situation but find the benefit or lesson that the problem at hand is offering.

Yes,you will probably face a period of uncertainty or struggle but there is always a flip side to the difficulty. A problem may not be a problem but an opportunity. A certain problem may come your way to show you an adjustment or change you can make to improve a certain condition in your life. Without the said problem,you would never have acknowledged the positive action.

Let see,a certain person has been fired from his or her job. This certain person goes on to start his or her business. The business becomes very successful and probably he or she is making more than what he or she used to make before. If we ask the said person ,he or she will testify that without been laid off,the business would never have been started. What started as an adversity ended up as a golden opportunity.

Be like an entrepreneur who sees opportunities everywhere he looks not like people who sees only problems everywhere they look.

Life isn’t perfect but we all have a chance,an opportunity or a right to embrace each new day to do many things. We can decide to make it a great day or we can simply squander it with pettiness,old grudges or dwelling on previous mistakes.

A lot of times,you see a situation that causes you the real problem. However,if you turn it around and see the problem as a challenge,you will also see that there is an opportunity right before your eyes. If you call it an opportunity instead of buckling under the loud of the word crisis tragedy or a disaster then you can start taking advantage of what has happened.

Effective people are not problems minded, they are opportunity skinned. They feed opportunities and starve problems. Be like entrepreneurs who is always on the lookout for problems that can be turned into opportunities and finds creative ways to leverage limited resources to reach there goals.

Do not get in the way by limiting the level of fulfilment,abundance and prosperity readily available to you through dispempowering thought and the company of emotions that go with them.

Remember,things that hurt, instruct.
