Finding Hope

What we need during these tough times is hope.

To be able to see the light through the darkness.

Hope is a positive emotion we all can cultivate.

How do we find hope?

When we ask for help from a higher power, becoming silent and listening to what comes to us.

When we hear an inspiring story of the underdog who won.

When we see the big picture in life and realize there is more than the temporary tough situation.

When we connect to others and realize we are not alone.

When someone takes the time to listen and show empathy.

When we take risks and step outside of our comfort zone.

When we accept ourselves for who we truly are.

When we learn something new and cultivate interest and curiosity.

When we see acts of kindness or we perform them ourselves.

When we stop thinking about ourselves and start thinking about others.

When we make changes and see a new path.

When we cultivate gratitude and can be thankful for what we have.

When we pay attention to the everyday miracles of life; such as the sunsets/sunrises, nature, etc.

When we look at our past and see how we are thrived through challenges and built resilience. 

Every time we feel, receive or give love.

Hope is always there for the taking if we pay attention.
