While there’s life, there’s hope !

Today the world is full of fear, stress, and sadness which all are causing pain to humanity.

Let’s ask ourselves “What we are passing through nowadays, are the hardest of times? “ I don’t think so!

These are tough feelings humankind have shared across the centuries. No matter how long we have worked to become more mindful and wise, there are moments when everything seems to fall apart. We try to retrieve some composure, but the stream of afflictive thoughts and feelings continues. We can always develop a negative perspective, but always we have to remind ourselves that there can be more pain than we can heal even if we are all living in uncertainty. In such a situation, is there an option that can comfort us and bring forth positivity?

My answer will be hope.

?The difference between those who let their circumstances control them and drag them to frustration and those who choose to embrace the goodness of life is the choice of considering hope an important element in life. Hope is a powerful remedy to feelings of misery and frustration. A life filled by hope is a life filled by optimism. It doesn’t mean that you are always happy or that you can’t feel emotions like hurt, fear, sadness, or anger, but it gives us a reason to continue fighting and believing that our current circumstances will improve, despite the unpredictable situation the world is passing through.

When we hold onto hope, we begin to understand that we are part of a greater narrative that includes both global and personal experiences of pleasure and suffering at the same time. It can simply prolong us during the hard times we are experiencing nowadays and bring more fulfillment to the good times.

Hope is like a light in the middle of the darkness. We should learn how to develop our hope muscles at good times so that we can face the bad times with a brave heart empowered by hope.

To develop hope we need to seek Inspiration like honoring the Highest Power “God and recognizing that the Universe is beyond our control. We should always dedicate time for prayer and meditation to reflect on the good in the world, starting with what we are thankful for, instead of focusing on the negative things happening in life. Always get inspired by all the good that exists in the world. We often hear or read that we need to surround ourselves with positivity or positive people, whereas I think it should start with each one of us. Let’s seek to be a positive person in our environment and inspire people around us to change their perspective by spreading good vibes, kindness, generosity, and love. There is a unique power in experiencing this that brings joy to our lives.

Hope is the power of Being, but it doesn't mean we have to rely on the word itself and expect the world to change because we are hoping so. We are the change itself. We have to create hope by starting to serve our own communities by giving love, care, empathy, and generosity, simply by being human.

I hope the pain caused by Covid-19 that the entire world is experiencing will be a huge turning point to humanity.

Each of us thinks we're human. We walk, talk, look, and act like humans, but are we being true to the fundamental nature that springs from within us? Human beings have exhibited extraordinary creativity, innovation, and wisdom. Yet, we still find ourselves struggling, competing, arguing, destroying each other, and striving to find a sense of place in our chaotic world.

It’s time to learn what it means to truly be human and discover the primary universal law that releases us from the chains of attachments, ownership, the lust for power and control, and the illusion of ego’s dominating us.

I personally believe that life is a gift, yet it’s our responsibility to give back gratitude to Life by being a real human.

Marcus Tullius Cicero said – “While there’s life, there’s hope. “
