Hope, being the flickering light that gleams and brightens the dimmest paths, permitting to grasp at dreams, wholeheartedly, even when circumstances seem to alienate all positive outcome probabilities.
You’ve known, I’m sure, people who have made it beyond their dreams. What makes them different?
Sure, you will see incredible perseverance, profound belief, skillful manifestations, outstanding courage but, the inner light of hope that propels through adversity is only ignited when resilience is present. Resilience leads to triumph.
It glimmers through in the darkness of storms and still spikes you ahead when all wind has fallen from your sails, making you step up to the challenge even when all odds seem against you.
It pierces through gloomy thoughts, literally pushing you out of slumps, raising your stamina when you droop! It kicks you into gear when you stammer, swooping you up when you’re down!
It may even be seen as a curse by some because it just won’t allow you to give up. Like a little inner voice, it cheers you on even when you want to shut it down, stop and rest. It just won’t let you give-up!
Those who are endowed with it may see it as a source of inexplicable possibilities that keep hammering alte
atives to pursue their goal, energizing them, giving them the necessary drive to pursue their endeavor.
Resilience is a strength that exponentially increases the probability of success. In it lies Hope!
Have a nice week. Happy Trails,
