Point Your Hope

Let hope encourage you to take action. Don't let it be a substitute for action. To have hope in your heart is more than to merely wish. The power of hope comes from the effort and commitment it inspires.


Hope can give you a reason when no other reason is there. Hope can make the impossible happen.


Yet for hope to work for you, you must work for it. Hope is not a free ride, but rather is a deeply compelling and meaningful path to follow.


Make the effort, do the work, deal with the challenges, and hope will prove to be an indispensable ally. Add the fervor of your hope to the effectiveness of your actions, and you'll have a winning combination indeed.


Point your hope toward the highest peak you can imagine. Then give the best that you have to see it through.


-- Ralph Marston

My thanks for this... the more I read the messages on this site the better I feel.

Personally I don't have much hope for the future... but there is a little.

I feel I have to build this into something which is more than what it is.

I hope for several things in life, being happy would be one. And drinking as much as I do I know that's not going to happen. At least without stopping it.

Again thankyou for an inspirational post.

Darwex.
