Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hope makes people good, a lot of the time. You hope for a brighter future, and resentment is outweighed.
Hope is favorable and confident expectation; it's an expectant attitude that something good is going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we're facing.
Hope is trust in God's promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future.
Hope is not just... out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.
Hope is the most exciting thing there is in life.
I think that we as a people are always prone to think about, well, tomorrow will be a better day. Well, why will it be a better day? And I think the more that we believe in doing things better, doing the right thing rather than hoping that that's going to happen, let's make it happen.
Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again.
Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you.
