Hope
Hope - to cherish a desire with anticipation: to want something to happen or be true. To wish for · dream of · hope against hope for.
What would life be if we had no hope for things to be better? If all we expected were for everything to remain the same, then what words of encouragement could we give to our children for a better world? Recent events have given us a glimpse of it would feel like without hope.
We all have hopes, dreams, and desires; some of them on a personal level, and others that pertain to our communities, our country, and the world. All of them equally important when it comes to what we foresee for the future.
A desire for a better life keeps us moving forward, it makes us feel alive. The dreams and aspirations that we have not only for ourselves, but for our children, are the catalyst to strive for better.
Hope should come from a positive place; never from a desire for bad things to happen for personal gain. If we obtain something from someone else’s loss, there is no glory. We are only left with an empty, dark aura that envelops us, and we are no better than a thief in the night.
Without hope we accept that this is as good as it gets; that we cannot find a way to change what holds us back from creating a better and more unified world. By giving up hope we give permission to, and accept the outcome, from the actions of those without hope; the ones who have predetermined the destiny for all. We should never knowingly, or willingly, give permission to others to take away our dreams and desires.
We cannot remove hope from our lives, as hope is the one thing that will propel us forward and inspire us to do better. With hope we can come together and create a world that ensures a global community for our children and grandchildren. A place that does not include negativity and will not put one person in conflict or competition with another, but will persuade us to work together.
Look to the dreamers and visionaries, the ones filled with hope, striving for a kinder and more inclusive world. Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Abraham Lincoln, Dalai Lama, Greta Thunberg, Malala Yousafzai, Frederick Douglass, Mahatma Gandhi, Joan of Arc, Winston Churchill, and Helen Keller to name a few. Each one filled with hope and pushing through obstacles to champion for their cause; looking to create a better world for those to follow.
We need hope, our children need hope, and with love in our hearts we will succeed in making them a reality.
