I'm naturally an optimist, but my basis for hope is rooted in my understanding of human nature.

Hope is not just... out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.

I am an optimist, and I try to think that the light will always prevail in any situation, so it doesn't really make me sad about humanity because I think, deep down, everybody is full of love and light.

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.

I am now trying to trust the universe to take care of me and not necessarily rely on other people to make me happy.

I think that I am a deeply optimistic person.

So, instead, I try to put in light and hope for the best.

Hope is the anchor of our souls. I know of no one who is not in need of hope - young or old, strong or weak, rich or poor.

I try to give people hope. Even though life is bleak, there's hope out there.

To me, it's always been a challenge to look for the light: to look for those spaces in your heart where there is hope and faith and try to embrace that rather than crush it. I've spent so many years trying to crush those feelings of hope, and I certainly succeeded for quite a while.
