“Hope implies that there is the possibility of a better future, according to the famed hope researcher C.R. Snyder. It shows up at the worst possible time when things are dire and difficult, but can keep us going during those hard moments. If during the difficulty, we can see the faint glimmer of something better, then hope “opens us up,” says Barbara Fredrickson, a positive psychology researcher. And turn us toward something better.”
NOTE: Hope is the fuel that gets us out of bed in the morning and excited about our day. It rises from our deep believe that good triumphs over evil, things will work out well for us, and no matter the turmoil we’re surrounded in, it will end well and we will land on our feet. There are signs of hope all around us. Each time I see new life I see it as a sign of hope. Each time I witness an act of kindness, I see it as a sign of hope.
