We all have times in our lives when things change, when they need to change. We all wonder where we are going to start, or how we are possibly going to finish. When we look at the entire prospect of change, good or bad, we can be very overwhelmed. But when we start just one step at a time, we begin to feel hope that we just might get through this.
We start out with so much hope! When we are children, we believe that tomorrow is going to be a better day. We believe that everything will work out. We believe that things are simple and that we are nearly invincible. We begin our lives with hope. Hope that we will be loved. That we will grow and be nourished.
We grow up with our hopes and dreams getting squished and moved around in our hearts. Life can suck the hope right out of you if you let it.
We grow up with fairy tales and happily ever afters in our thoughts and dreams. Most of the time, reality does not quite live up the the illusion, and if it does, it is usually after great trials that we find those blessings.
It can be hard to find hope in the world today. Hard to find it when you heart is aching, when you are exhausted, when you are stressed, and when you don't know how you are going to pay the bills because you just lost your income.
Hope is that little voice inside your head that tells you to try again tomorrow, hope reminds you that all is not lost, hope tells you that you are worth loving. Hope begins with every step we take in the right direction.
