Although I pride myself in being an optimistic person and one who always looks at life as it comes, I do have moments where I feel the water is well over my head. In reality I cannot swim so the fear aggravates as I feel a whirlpool is sucking me in. But everytime there is something that pulls me up. Thinking about it….I think its called Hope.
What is Hope? Hope is the belief in positive outcome in any circumstance. It is the feeling that anything one wished for can be had .Or that every event will turn out for the best. Hope and optimisim are a bit different as hope is considered an emotional state where as Optimism is a well thought of conclusion to have a positive attitude.
Wont each of us be overwhelmed by despair if not for a emotion called Hope? hope is kind of a magic God has given us to give us an inner strength to get over upheavals. It is always present in all we do, we hope for a better tomorrow, we hope for a better career , we hope for our children, it makes us seek more, it makes us get over our fears and fight the down times we have in our life.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: “If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.” I believe this is so true. Hope keeps that vitality for life…when you lose hope you lose the enthusiasm for life and give up easily. Hope is like the bright sunshine that promises a radiant tommorrow.Hope to many is a lifeline that keeps you afloat when you are at a loss.
As they say he who has no hope of winning has already lost before the race. So let us continue to hope and bring in the liveliness in our lives back.
