Keep Your Hope Alive
Find ways to see the good in life
Life is wonderful.
It’s true.
There are so many good and wonderful things about life here on this planet.
Recently I found out that a co-worker passed away. Granted, I did not know him, but I went through my emails and realized that his name popped up many times in group discussions.
How can people die? It seems impossible given all of the advances in medicine and technology.
Accidents happen. That’s true. There are car and motorcycle crashes.
Cancer shows up. Let’s hope that a cure for cancer is found because it continues to destroy people’s bodies and wreck families.
Hope can be lost or there could be mental health struggles. This is a big one because often there is no medicine that can help.
KEEP HOPE ALIVE
What can we do to keep holding onto the joy of life and believing in good things in the future?
There are things that can help:
- Build a strong support network
- Set aside time for friends
- Write down the names of wonderful people in your life
- Volunteer and help others
- Stay healthy and physically fit
- Seek counseling if you need it
- Be emotionally connected
You are loved. Yes, people can’t say it like they might want to do so. But people care about you and look forward to spending more time with you.
Keep hope alive in your heart and mind. Do everything you can to find all of the wonderful things waiting for you here in the present and all of the days of your future.
