Once you choose hope, anything is possible

"Hope is the Last thing ever lost".. - - - - Italian Proverb

Ecc9:4 Anyone who is among the living has hope, even a live dog is better off than a dead lion..

Life is full of pains, suffering, disappointment and knocked down, but it can be overcome with Hope.  Hope provide us with strength and energy to with stand the tussle of life.

"Hope is an Optimistic attitude of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in one's life and the world at large". Hope motivates us to persevere, despite the obstacles, the trial of life, not knowing how, when, or where or why our life story will conclude.

Hope can impact several aspects of life such as health, work, education and personal meaning.  Synder postulated that there are three main things that make up hopeful thinking
Goal- Approaching life in a goal oriented way.
Pathway- Finding different ways to achieve your goals
Agency -  Believing that you can instigate change and achieve these goals.

Benefits of Hope

Hope is not a wishful thinking, nor is it magical thinking.  Hope is an emotion, a mindset, a belief, a motivation, that despite set back and obstacles, challenges and circumstances, you believe that your life will workout, you can achieve and do incredible things..
