There is always a way and always hope in the next sunrise, and in the next second, and in the next minute.” ~ Ziggy Marley
Each day we stand at the crossroad of hope and defeat. Those who choose the road of defeat give up, they quit fighting, they toss in the towel. Those who choose the road of hope believe that things will work out if they continue to struggle and learn from their struggles. I enjoyed playing sports when I was younger, I enjoy watching them now. Sports teaches us that there is always hope. Runners come from behind to defeat the favorite. A team seemingly too far behind with a minute to play somehow manages to win. The research indicates that hope provides a significant advantage to living a healthier life and promoting healing. Tune out the naysayers. Turn off the doomsday prophets. A better day is coming for you and me. Hope is our fuel, the source of our energy and commitment toward tomorrow.
