I recently changed my profile picture to reflect what I do. Among other things, I help?people find Hope. Hope is an emotionally charged topic. Hope is more than just a song or words. Hope shows up when you need it most. Often during our darkest hours. However you have to be looking for HOPE to recognize it.
Here are a few key points about Hope.
HOPE is a Choice.??
Hope is a Conscious Decision, This is exciting because it means we have a part in creating it. This means it is entirely within our power. Imagine that, you can actually create hope by looking for solutions to your challenges.?
Hope can be Killed.
A warning here. You must be willing to?accept solutions and options. If not, you will be killing Hope. This is challenging because you will likely have to trust your gut, not your mind. Trust yourself and God. By not accepting solutions to your dilemmas, hope is dead. You have killed it. Not because hope wasn't there, but because you would not accept that it might be. Ask yourself, "What if" questions. What if this could work??What if this is what I am looking for? What if this is real? What is the worst thing that could happen if this solution doesn't work? Is that really that bad? Ask positive solution oriented questions.
MIRACLES HAPPEN ALL THE TIME
Look around you. Miracles happen all the time.?Has anyone else dealt successfully with this situation? What did they do? Is there anyone else doing what I am thinking of doing? Has God ever let you down? If you question that one, look back at those times in your life that may not have turned out the way you wanted. Examine those events and see if ultimately those events turned out for the better. Ask yourself, am I being guided to something better?
Miracles happen all the time. ACCEPT YOUR MIRACLE.?
HOPE IS WAITING TO BE FOUND. TAKE ACTION
Hope is a positive thing. Hope increases as we take small steps and actions. DO SOMETHING. Do some research, explore options.?PRAY!?Go for a walk and listen. GOD IS SPEAKING,?Think, BE HOSEST WITH YOURSELF.?Do something nice for someone.?If you would like to receive goodness, give goodness.??GOODNESS BEGATS GOODNESS.?
I found a short video which shows this principle. It is called "Broken".?
BENEFITS OF HOPE
The benefits of hope far outweigh the feelings of despair and the crushing weight of doubt and fear. These emotions are what you experience without hope. EXCITEMENT, GOOD HEALTH. PASSION. LAUGHTER and FUN are among the BENEFITS ARE AMONG THE BENEFITS of HOPE.
Lest we forget how close we are to this amazing gift called HOPE, I have included the following poem.

Don’t Quit, Rev Wade Watts
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit!
