Hope is the invisible part of ourselves that can be the
difference between getting somewhere and getting no
where. Hope is the extra set of muscles that allows us
to carry on even though our legs can't support us any
longer. Hope is the extra heartbeat that gives us positive
energy when our senses can't feel, hear, or see beyond
negativity. Hope is the nectar that restores health when
our bodies feel old and broken down.
The one thing everyone has is hope. Hope keeps us sane
and keeps us trying. For as long as we have hope,
we'll always feel a candle burning within us that's
ready to light the world.
We increase our supply of hope every time we do something
good, even when we don't want to. Hope is the extra push
we give ourselves to quench rage, to bolster our reserves
of patience, and to feel love when we find it difficult to
feel. With hope in our lives, all else is possible.
Do I have hope tonight? Help me remain filled with hope
about my life and the lives of those around me.
If you know who wrote this please let me know so I can give
