The feeling of hopelessness is one that noone wishes to experience or plan for it but somehow so many people have gone through it, some lost years to it and some lost their lives to it, others won over it and survived for a better living. Even when we have everything in control around us, some situations tend to try to take our hopes away.
In our present days, things are really not easy for many and it seem as if it is going worse after worse, no sign of things looking up for the better. This is enough to find people with lost hopes but this post is to remind us that all hope is not lost.
I came across this picture above while I was searching for the perfect image and it felt like the image was encouraging and strengthening my hope in many ways, it was just the right image to share for others to see as well and let's strengthen our hopes together, we have to!
Some hours ago, I saw the last episode of a series I started days ago and the end was a perfect portray of "Hope in a hopeless situation" that worked for the characters in it... A girl who was saved by an angel fell in love with him, lost him and was told she will never see him again but her hope remained even when it was taking years for her to see him again until she eventually sees him, her hope won.
Hope isn't what we gain magically or by forcing it, it is something we build over time and we learn to see things that will only strengthen it for us no matter how difficult and scary the feeling of hopelessness our situations are making us deal with.
There are a few ways I've learnt to strengthen my hope as I had once realize I was losing it slowly, I'll share mine and hope to learn from your own tips in the comment section.
First things first, Prayers to the One who gives Hope. We can't gain hope magically but through God Almighty, yes we can gain it in an instant. Sometimes, He would want us to be Hopeful by our strength but it doesn't mean He isn't helping so long we prayed to Him. So while finding hope in a hopeless situation, pray for the strength to have that Hope.
Understanding the situation and seeing an end to it is being hopeful, of course, many times we won't be able to see an end to a situation that is making us lose hope but when we try our best to understand what is going on and imagine an end to it, we strengthen our hopes that way. Don't dwell on the fact that there is no way out, because there will always be one when we are alive.
Doing what I love, smiling more and staying positive are also ways I try to strengthen my hope for things to work out in the end. It's not an easy task to stay hopeful when everything else is against it but when we succeed, things will all falls in place.
