Never Lose Hope in Life

Hope is the life force that keeps us going and gives us something to live for. Hope is a crucial part of dealing with life’s problems and maintaining resilience is the face of obstacles. Even a glimmer of hope that our situation will turn around can keep us going.

Though, when we begin to lose hope, things can seem bleak. When we run into constant resistance and are prevented from reaching our goals we can start to feel like there is nothing to live for. If we can’t get to where we want to be and don’t feel in control of our life, what’s the point?

If you or someone else is feeling apathetic and are tired of running the rat race of life you may be starting to lose hope. In order to open up new and fulfilling possibilities for your future, you may need to nurture hope.

Never be lacking hope from the beginning – If we experienced neglect and were never nourished as a child, we may never have developed a healthy level of hopeful thinking. We might not have confidence and resilience set in place, and simply struggle when things prevent us from achieving our goals.

No more loss of connections – When we experience loss over time we can start to feel hopeless. Loss can come from divorce, death, and change. We can also experience loss of intangibles like a job or other important aspects of our identity. When we hold on and wallow in our grief from these loses hopelessness can set in.

Avoid victimization – When we are abused and belittled we can start to believe that is how life is supposed to be. We can begin to feel that we don’t have any control over what happens to us and that bad things will always occur. This can relate to unfair treatment from prejudice and discrimination.

Prevent burnout – If we don’t take care of ourselves we can get exhausted and overwhelmed to a point where life seems to run over us. We no longer feel able to manage our responsibilities and develop a negative and cynical view of the world and others. Burnout can lead us to feel defeated.

In much of the research examining hope, a major factor that contributes to our level of hope is the achievement of our goals. When we are able to reach our goals and have a sense of support and validation it instills hope. In this sense, empowering yourself by setting effective goals is the key. Here is a few tips to set and achieve your goals and bring more hope into your life.

Prioritize your goals as there are so many areas in life that we may like to see improvements, but we can’t do everything at once. So, figure out what domains of life you want to achieve goals in, and what’s most important between these. Do you want to have better relationships, get a job, or have better physical health? Pick one area to begin and set a realistic goal that you will be able to achieve.

The prime reason which forces us to lose hope is having too much of expectations. Expectations always bring disappointment, and if you have too much of expectation from yourself you’ll end up getting disappointed. So it is better not to expect anything of the result, Just think that if you make it, there can’t be anything better, but if you don’t then also it shouldn’t bother you that much.

For example : When you go for a test, you need to go with a free and positive mind. If you have the fear of previous failures you’ll end up torturing your brain and clouding yourself with all the negativity. This is another reason because of which you lose hope, fear of failure. It makes you lose hope because you think that it is better not to try at all rather than try and fail.

We all have people around us who again have expectations from us. This is another kind of expectation scenario, which makes us lose hope, because we feel that we are not catering to the expectations of our closed ones. Whatever may be the reason to lose hope, we should be strong enough to hold it.

We're all human, the living beings. We all live in society and knowingly or unknowingly we get influenced or affected by it too. We've Friends, families, neighbours, knowns and also the unknowns. And, it's quite obvious for us to feel or to think anything that comes our way. We know the very basic thing, that the world relies only on hope. Hope is really a good idea for leading a life, but how can we simply hope for it to rain when it's winter. See, the thing is simple… one loses a hope when one doesn't find the things coming his way.

We're human, we do expect things from others but, we can't expect our expectations to be fulfilled. And when things doesn't turn out our way we lose HOPE .

Set SMART Goals in order for goals to uplift and enliven us we need goals that are challenging and motivating yet still realistic. A good acronym to follow in order for goals to be effective is “SMART.” (Specific Measurable Action oriented Realistic Time bound)

Move past barriers and when working toward our goals there’s likely to be some unexpected situations that occur. We need to be ready to deal with obstacles and drawbacks. Consider what barrier you could run into and how to be prepared to manage these. When they arise you will be ready, have a plan, and won’t be able to use this as an excuse to give up. It will also be an important aid to the success of your goals. Stay blessed ! #kishoreshintre #possessedbywritingspirit
