We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose INFINITE HOPE.

Hope is the only cure...
Every new year's eve I make resolutions for the new year (follow them till good 6-10 weeks before giving up) and welcome the new year with new hopes, dreams and desires.
But as the days unfold the reality hits me, that there is nothing actually new about the new year. My work hasn't changed, people around me haven't changed and there has been no difference to my lifestyle.
Slowly the hopes and dreams and desires to achieve new goals crumble under the reality of unchanging monotonous life.
I keep asking myself, what is that I can do differently to change how things are in life?? What is it that every other happy person (which seems like everybody else other than me) doing because of which they have such satisfying happy lives?? How do I change the way I think, the way I feel and the way I live to be happy or happier?? What is the cure for all this despair??
The answer is in the question. The only cure for the way I feel and to change the way I feel is HOPE.
Sometime HOPE is the only thing you have and nothing else. But as long as you have hope, you need nothing else. Hope is the driving force of life which keeps us going. And I belive that if you are honest to life, if you ask life what you truly want, life gives it to you.
So I confronted myself to ask what I truly wanted from life. Is it happiness, success, love, friends and family or adventure, passion, fun and prosperity. For I know that if I truly, honestly and wholeheartedly hope for what i want from life, it will find me...
I am now hoping to Hope more... Dream more.... Trust more..... and Live more every single day....
I wish you the same and wish you a very hopeful new year :)

"Hope" for the day
Do not dwell in the past,
Do not dream of future,
Concentrate the mind on the present moment; for present is the best present that you could get today.
