Numerous times in our lives we find that we feel that there is little to no hope. But the thing is, life is full of hope. Just being alive means that there is always hope. Maybe you feel confused about your life but there is hope for your future and there is hope for the world around you.
A lot of times people don’t talk about the things that hope can bring and they often just speak of things like anger, guilt, depression, sadness, and other things like that. When life is hard, it can be hard for someone to feel that there is hope. Think about when Covid happened, and people were scared and felt that the world was crumbling around them. Where was the hope then? When you ask yourself this question, the first thing to do is to find out what you believe hope is.
What is Hope?
Hope is when someone has expectation and when there is desire to see things as good. It is also anticipation. Whatever you desire is good and whatever you believe in or wish for can help you to have hope.
It doesn’t mean that you will always get the things that you want but if you hope for things like peace, happiness, joy, and a happy life then you can see that these things are possible. Even when it seems like the world around you is falling apart, if you work hard to have hope you will see that it can come.
Of course, there will always be a time when you feel angry or sad, but hope can be the reality that you wake up to everyday and even when those painful things come into your life, if you seek to have hope then you will see that you can have this despite the bad things.
Inner and External Hope
When you live your life hopefully then you will get hope because you are someone that is alive. Hope is part of everything that is around you and you can have hope just by waking up each morning.
Some people believe in hope s part of their faith and they are optimistic about their future even when things are hard. Expecting a good outcome in your life or in your circumstances is something that comes from your inner being or from your heart and soul. You should love life enough that you have a hope inside of you that things can be great.
When the world around you seem to be falling apart, remember that hope is part of your mind. It is a state of thinking and a state of being. You don’t have to depend on anything outside of your life to give you hope but it is something that comes deep from the heart and beyond what you can see.
Loving Life
Hope on the inside of you can help you to live a better life. You can have this hope just because you’re alive and just because you are breathing. Hope is living the best life that you can, and each person is born with at least some hope. It can be easy to forget that you have this hope inside of you because of the hard things you go through and because of the negativity that you face but if you choose to remember then you will see that your outlook can be positive.
Choose to hold on to hope no matter how bad things are or how bad things seem. You can have freedom inside of yourself if you learn to embrace hope.
Finding Hope
You can choose to have hope instead of fear even when times are hard. You can choose to show love and mercy over anger, and you can choose to be open-minded instead of being close-minded. As you let go of negative behaviors and thoughts, you can strive towards hope.
It can be hard for some people to find this hope especially if they struggle with negative thinking. There are habits that you can create that can help you to hold on to hope such as:
- Being in the present.
- Showing thankfulness.
- Loving the world around you.
- Accepting things for what they are.
- Taking action.
- Having perseverance.
It is not always easy to have hope or to feel hopeful but if you take on these habits then you will see that you can push your negative thoughts and feelings aside and choose to keep moving forward. Be positive even when things are negative, and you can see that there is hope for your life.
Showing Thankfulness
Being thankful can bring hope into your inner man. You will see that as you are thankful, the negative thoughts and feelings that you have can slow down and you can see that the world around you still has good left in it. Let your mind slow down and respond to what is going on around you in a positive way. Look at things from a different perspective.
By showing how thankful you are you are opening your life to being more hopeful. Count the things that are good in your life and let go of your problems. As you love yourself and others, you will see that they can love you too and you can feel good about life.
The reality of your life is that things are always changing and even when things get bad for a time, they can always change back for the good.
Keep Going
Make sure that you do what it takes to have a positive mindset and to get rid of your hopeless feelings. Holding on and moving forward are ways that you can endure whatever comes your way while holding on to hope. You will have problems, everyone does, but you can work through them, and you can see light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t ever give up and know that there is hope for you in this life!
