As 2020 winds down, my resolution for the new year is to continue to have “HOPE” despite everything that life throws at me. Hope is a powerful motivator, a life-affirming feeling and a force to be reckon with if properly sent out into the world. Darkness cannot exist without light, so keep that spark of hope alive…have faith that everything will turn out all right. Ignite the eternal optimist within you!
When there is darkness
and stagnation
in front of you…
go straight
When life causes
extreme hardships…
go straight
When trouble
overwhelms you…
go straight
When your path
becomes hazy and unclear…
go straight
When obstacles become
too difficult to manage…
go straight
The course you take
must never waver
Always have faith
and never falter
Forge onwards
to greater heights
so that
your dreams and goals
may come to fruition
and then and only then
will everything turn
out better
If you just…
go straight
Just remember,
the storm will pass
It’s not going to always to rain
because the sun
will continuously fight
against all odds
to break through the clouds
to keep its light alive
and shine
for all the world to see
When bad things happen
Always know that there is hope
So never falter
Hope produces faith
Faith builds determination
Obstacles subside
Believe in yourself
Make your journey go forward
Hope springs eternal
Hold true to your honor and strengthen the hope for the future in your heart.
There is greatness
inside all of us
We have to believe
in ourselves,
work hard to find it
and
never give up hope
that we are worthy
If we do that
with our mind, body and soul,
then
greatness within us
will emerge
Don’t compare what you’re going to do next with what you’ve
already done.
Believe in yourself, have faith and stay eternally optimistic because hope will dictate your effort.
Put all your energy
and
everything into
being the best
that you can be
Make that fire
burning inside of you
shine bright,
enough to drive
that tenacity
to its limit
If this can be done
then…
all things are possible
Never give up
even in the face of failure,
make it happen
You have the strength
to persevere,
despite all odds
Your life is precious,
and you have so much to contribute
in this world
“There is hope!”
So breathe,
take that first step,
and always
move forward.
