Define Hope
Recently, I had a long discussion with my children. We all talked about hope. Hope carries heavy weight for some, and for others, it is simple. Everyone has their own definition of hope. That is the beauty of individuality. With different upbringings, we appreciate unique ways of looking at life. Therefore, hope is defined differently.
I asked my child what he needed from me. My child looked me in the eyes and said he needed hope. What a difficult statement we all make at some point in our lives. It offers great vulnerability when we state such a great need.
I gave the same directive to my son that I am lending you today. I implore all individuals today to ask themselves, “What is my definition of hope?” “How do you see the hope of your circumstances and the environment around you?”
The beauty of this exercise lies in taking the mindful moment to consider the present ideas of hope. Hope is guided by the past and influences our future. Continue to meditate on being present in understanding hope.
