A man once casually said to a sad-looking passerby, “I simply love the look of spring skies!” The sad person looked up and saw a lot of clouds. It was a cloudy day and he said, “It is far from spring, my friend. Summer is nearing its end and we still have winter ahead.” “Oh, I understand,” the other man replied, and then continued, “I hope one day you’ll see spring in everything.” And he walked away with a smile, setting the sad guy thinking.
Have you found yourself in situations where you have felt that you have so lost the zest for life as to think that there is nothing left to live for? Life is all about hope. Hope is not mere wishful thinking, but an optimistic attitude of mind based on an expectation of positive outcome of whatever happens in life. It is the belief that every dark cloud always has a silver lining. Hope proves that when the going gets tough, the tough can get going. It gives you the drive to keep moving forward in life.
“Oft hope is born, where all is forlorn,” says J.R.R. Tolkien. When you think that you have messed up in life with no chance of a return, hope is the key that can open doors to new vistas. With hope, you can see the brightest stars in the darkest of skies. If you let go of hope, you can never look out for alternative ways in life. Life is a roller-coaster journey, and there are bound to be more bumps and hurdles than you imagine. Holding on to hope is the only way to make the ups and downs of your life journey easier to get over. So may the flame of hope in your life keep always burning!
