Why does hope matter? Monthly Motivation includes printable

Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.
~ Christopher Reeve

Hope is a concept that that’s not always understood, though we all need it to live a happy life. Hope isn’t some Pollyanna dose of enthusiasm or a fluffy bit of happiness, though it might contain those emotions. Instead, hope is a goal that includes the desire to get there, and the feeling that we can. So, for this month’s motivation let’s talk a bit about what hope is, and why it does matter.

What is hope?

According to Merriam-Webster.com, hope is “desire accompanied by expectation of or belief in fulfillment.” Synonyms include expectation, ambition, plan, daydream. Hope sees potential. We need hope to realize our dreams, but also collectively we need hope to survive. Hope shows us what we live for, and what’s important to fight for.

Why does hope matter?

Hope makes us creative. Without hope we wouldn’t search for out-of-the-box solutions to our problems, nor would we take the time to find new answers.

Hope puts us to work. Without hope, we wouldn’t work towards our goals. Hope urges us to keep going, even when we lose interest.

Hope pushes us past failure. With hope, we see our setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow. Hope prompts us to use persistence and experimentation to solve our problems.

Hope makes us look toward the future. More than that, hope helps us let go of the past so we can welcome our future with open arms. It sees us as going somewhere, and then shows us the way to get there.

Hope matters

Hope does matter. It’s what helps us see our situation, then shows us the way through. The best part? Hope is contagious. Your hope can inspire others. If you go out into the world full of hope and enthusiasm, you’ll find it reflected back to you. With this in mind, I’ve created a pretty printable that I hope inspires you to ‘Choose Hope’!
