\u201cHope is a verb<\/p>\n
It is an action<\/p>\n
It is not a chair<\/p>\n
To sit on and wait<\/p>\n
for things to<\/p>\n
get better\u2026<\/p>\n
it is something<\/p>\n
we DO\u2026<\/p>\n
it is a brave choice<\/p>\n
that we make.\u201d<\/p>\n
With everything happening in the world right now from hurricanes, to earthquakes, to wildfires, to terrorism, etc it is far too easy to adopt an attitude of doom and gloom. It is also easy when things are going wrong to lose that feeling of hope. But when you find yourself feeling hopeless just remember that having hope is a choice you can make at any time. You can choose to have hope…to believe in what can be. \u00a0And choosing to have hope will shift your thinking from what you are afraid of, to what you can do. \u00a0CHOOSE TO HAVE HOPE!<\/p>\n
