What Is Hope?
I believe that hope is such a powerful word.
One of the most powerful words.
Hope is the driving force for motivation.
It's a spark of fire that lives right in the pit of ones stomach.
Some people have very small sparks and others have a forest fire of hope.
Hope has the power to ignite your bones with sanity.
I used to say that I was “hopeless”.
But that could never be true.
I mean, yeah, I've gotten water poured on my hope many times, but it's never disinegrated.
On the other hand, I've also gotten oxygen fed to my hope.
Oxygen ignites the fire.
Oxygen appears when life is happy.
I've been trying to put a definition of hope.
Hope is hope.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Hope does wonders for me.
Hope is the backboard for a drowning victim.
And when I was drowning, hope was my #1 lifeguard.
