Introduction

Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there is no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.

-  Laini Taylor, author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone Series

To say that hopelessness has thrown a wrench into the works is an understatement. The level of disruption experienced worldwide over the years is of epic proportions. Hope for many has slowly been deprived through different means of challenges we have had to overcome. This makes us all fearful at one point or another. And where there is fear, hope disappears very quickly. Without hope, there is no future. 

But you are not alone in feeling like you haven’t achieved anything. It is time to take back the hope stolen by the unprecedented challenges we face and their repercussions.

Through this book, you will become empowered to reclaim your ambition and hope for the future in several ways, including discovering fascinating ways to build up hope, find out where hope comes from, and unlock the power of hope.

It is critical to understand that you are not alone in trying to find hope in the world. Serena and Venus Williams found hope in tennis, which helped them cope with the tragic and violent death of their older half-sister, who was also their personal assistant. Serena Williams also came close to death due to a pulmonary embolism after giving birth to her daughter, while Venus Williams lives with Sjogren’s disease.

These are significant events that could have impacted their mental health and led to hopelessness, but the sisters found their strength in their sport and the love within their family. As a result, they rose from the ashes of tragedy to dominate the tennis court. But they are still on a journey to find hope and forgiveness. As Serena Williams puts it:

No matter what, my sister is not coming back for good behavior. It’s unfair that she’ll never have an opportunity to hug me. But also.... the Bible talks about forgiveness. I am not there yet. I would like to practice what I preach and teach Olympia that as well. I want to forgive. I have to get there. I’ll be there.

Luca, also known as Lazylegz, is a Canadian B-boy dancer. He is also a motivational speaker. He was born with arthrogryposis, a rare muscle disorder that affects the limb by limiting joint mobility.

Luca has undergone sixteen surgeries on his hips, spine, legs, and shoulders since he was seven months old. But he discovered break dancing at fifteen years old and fell in love with it. Luca formed the ILL-ABILITIES crew, consisting of fellow dancers with various disabilities.

Luca’s breakdance style focuses on his strong upper body while using his crutches as extensions of his body and moves. He has been dancing for thirteen years now, offering hope to many other people living with disabilities and showing how much they can achieve.

Luca lives by the motto,

Adapt, stay positive, and learn to do things your own way.

This book will help you find YOUR hope amid your challenges. It will help you:

●  Pause and reflect

●  Remind yourself of what you’re grateful for

●  Limit your intake of bad news

●  Focus on things to look forward to

●  Identify and learn to talk to a hopeful person in your life

As Socrates said, "The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." In this book, we will build on new hope and expectations for a brighter future.

I have worked as a health therapist in mental well-being. With my expertise, I am committed to creating content that will change your outlook on life. The material in this book will enable you to take charge of your life again, revive your ambition, and set goals for the future.

Train your brain now and take action to grasp hope. Don’t sit around feeling sorry for yourself. Hope is within your grasp, and all you have to do is make the first step towards it.

The above examples of Serena and Venus Williams and Luca Lazylegz remind us that finding hope is not easy. As Serena Williams puts it, I just never give up. I fight to the end. You can’t go out and say: I want a bag of never-say-die spirit. It is not for sale. It has to be innate.

It is indeed innate in all of us. You have to find yours from within yourself.

Chapter One: The Powerful Meaning of Hope and Why it is Important to You

Hope, said Aristotle, is the dream of a waking man.

Superficially, hope is considered a wish. But there is more to hope than a mere wish. For some, it is a manifestation of their faith because they interpret it in a spiritual context. In the Bible, hope is the confident expectation you have in God because of his promises to humankind.

But hope can also exist away from the religious definition. When you cherish a desire with immense anticipation, you are hopeful for its manifestation. That desire drives you to always look on the bright side so that even challenges drive your ambition further.

Hope is commonly associated with dire situations. But hope should be something that we tap into daily, not periodically in our lives. Envisioning hope is a powerful motivator to do and expect better for yourself. Even though it is ethereal and intangible, it has a strong presence.

Why is Hope Vital?

Here are several reasons why hope is essential for you:

It heals you.

Difficult times come in being alive, but hope offers expectation and belief. Belief and expectation are the main elements of hope. They release enkephalins and endorphins, which work like morphine to block pain. Endorphins are released as a response to mental stress, and difficult situations can be very stressful. Enkephalins also offer analgesic action in the brain, dulling the pain.

Jerome Groopman, the author of The Anatomy of Hope, found in his research that belief and expectation impact the nervous system of an ill person. According to Groopman, they set off a chain reaction that makes it more likely to show gradual improvement and even recover. He calls the impact: the placebo effect of hope.

That is on the physical front. Mentally, hope puts the situation into perspective, reminding you that things will change for the better in the future. This perspective enables you to fight another day.

It becomes a motivator.

Hopeful people incorporate positive actions into their life choices. They believe that their actions can influence their goals, resulting in a positive outcome. When you are hopeful, you re-identify and re-evaluate your goals to maintain a clear vision of what is critical. You also reconnect with your core values, motivating you to get up in the morning and strive to prevail.

It helps combat negative thoughts.

It is hard for hope and negativity to live in the same space because the former breeds positivity. Hope entertains the light at the end of the tunnel, and that light becomes a beacon of all the great things to come. For example, when an automatic negative thought like, I can’t do this presentation pops into your mind, hope reassures you that you have everything you need to do whatever you put your mind to. Or, if you think divorce has destroyed everything in your life, hope reminds you that you have loved ones who cherish you and you can turn these challenges into opportunities if you approach them from a different angle.

It helps us seek.

Hope pushes you to seek inspiration. Research by Daecher Keltner, a psychologist, shows that being inspired or awestruck can offer meaning that motivates you to seek answers. And when you seek answers, you are hopeful of a great outcome. In this way, hope becomes a guiding force in life, leading you to find what you need.

It inspires self-belief.

Not only does hope help you believe better things are on the way, but it also boosts your self-belief that you are the person to make these great things happen. In this way, hope builds your self-esteem by helping you believe more in your abilities. A hopeful person will empower themselves to be able to achieve their desires. In the process, you begin to recognize your own power.

It brings inner peace.

The belief and expectation that accompany being hopeful alleviate the feeling of despair, resulting in a calmer and more peaceful you. As long as hope remains, even persistent challenges cannot disturb the tranquil landscape inside your mind. It offers an oasis amid a storm.

What Hope is Not

Sometimes the glass is not half-empty or half-full. It is just empty, and hope does not try to color it as being halfway there like optimism does. It will let you see the reality of your situation so that if your circumstances are dire, you can pick yourself up from exactly where you are.

It helps to look at the challenge
