For me, the simple answer is to find hope let go of hopelessness. Hope is not something which I search for, it is in the searching for
hope that hopelessness is fed. Lots of people attach hope to purpose, and they feel hopeless when they struggle with their
perceived purpose.
Hope is a future tense, its about the will to carry on. Living in the moment, taking life one breath at a time, gives me hope for that
moment and only that moment. Human life is a series of moments. Learning how to trust spirit within me gives me a lot of confidence
in my journey, earthly or otherwise.
Ask yourself, what does hope look like to you? Then let go of that image. Because most people chase a mental construct of what
they call “hope.” Disappointment means to miss the point which I was aiming for. Unfulfilled expectations can leave some people feeling
hopeless. Hopelessness can also lead to depression.
