How can you hope for something better when everything is falling apart? Are you not removing yourself from reality? Are you not in denial of what IS?

I once read somewhere that whatever you believe is what will happen. So I figured that if this theory is true (which I was skeptical about at the time) I may as well choose to believe in the good stuff because what would be the point in testing it with negative stuff? If it worked, I’d produce misery and suffering.

If you’ve never chosen what your stance is when it comes to hope, I encourage you to ponder on it because having persistent hope is a great tool in the face of tough times. Decide that no matter how tough it gets, things will get better. You will be amazed at how empowering this stance is.

Henry Ford put it like this “whether you think you can or you can’t either way you are right.”

In difficult situations, you have to choose to believe in something, you have to tell yourself something. Choose what has the possibility to give better returns. Go for the healthier option – the positive thoughts, choose HOPE!
