Hope

 "Hope is a passion for the possible." Soren Kierkegaard

What actions are you going to take to make it happen? You are responsible for the effort.

 "Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up." Anne Lamont

Just keep doing the next right thing. Keep doing the work. Whatever, the work is. I am responsible for the work. God is responsible for the results.

Hope

"The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don't wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope." Barak Obama

Volunteer, do some service work, help someone, commit random acts of kindness, You know, do the next right thing.

Hope

" What we call despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope." George Eliot

We need to feed our hope. Sometimes, all it takes is one small action in a positive direction. Do the dishes, vacuum the floor, dust your shelves..... You may not hope for a clean home, however it will help you realise your dreams.. 

Hope

 We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. Martin Luther King Jr.

To live life on life's terms, we must accept our failures. It does not me we like it. 

Hope

To live without hope is to cease to live. Fyodor Dostoyevsky 

At the end of my drinking, I had stopped living. I was merely existing. It wasn't until I came into the rooms that I found hope and came to believe a power greater than myself could restore me to sanity.
