Life deals all sorts of dirty cards in your daily life. All expectations and calculations have a way of failing you. This in turn makes you feel forsaken, beaten and truly fatigued. However it is the little recognized feeling of belittlement that pushes you down all the way, simply because you feel small in front of the happenings and nothing seems right. It is here that you rely on a friend of yours you call HOPE. Hope is a great friend that keeps you going. Hope is your friend when all else forsakes you. The greatest thing about hope is that you really do not have to call her down from anywhere, she is forever within you. She is just that life’s partner that was born with you and will live with you till your last breath. Even in your last breath she does hope that there will be another one.
Hope is an old friend of yours never giving up on you. When the rest of the world loses faith in you she stand up and takes your side. Every time you thought she’d given up on you, she would surprise you and show her friendly face again. She’d give you a big hug and remind you that having her in your life is far better than giving up on her. Just remember that you have nothing to lose by allowing hope to stay in your life even when it seems all is lost.
We all have hated life at times and have felt desperately alone and misunderstood. It’s easy to lose hope when life grinds you down. It is true to think we have all been there at some time in our lives. That dark place where it looks like life has got it in for you and is laughing at all your misfortune
Stop resisting what is going on. It is happening. Accept it and work with it as if you had chosen it. Instead of resisting, try to go with the flow more. When you resist, it’s like trying to move a car that has run out of fuel and you are trying to move it by pushing it all the way. When we don’t accept the fact that the fuel is run out and resist we exhaust ourselves. Instead of resisting by thinking “Why me?” or “It’s so unfair”…try dealing with what’s going on. You will be a lot less stressed. It is very difficult to evoke hope then. But if you were to sit down, relax and think of option, hope awakens. She will show you newer ways. Ways to counter the ill fate, whatever it be and to come out winner. Hope is the weapon you can you can use against
Something, that really creates a havoc in the mind are matters of the heart that has emotional tethering. A break-up, for instance, is hugely crushing and affects you immensely. You feel deeply and give a lot of yourself into beating it. When going through a break-up, you often wish with every part of your being that you could fast forward time, skipping out on a portion of life just to feel better. When you feel lost and life seems unbearable, take life one day at a time. Take it one hour at a time if that’s all you can face. Keep moving forward, toe by toe – you will be moving toward a better place.
Change is inevitable and that’s a good thing when you feel you are at rock bottom and can’t sink any lower. You are not alone, there are millions of others hiding under their duvets feeling just as bad as you are and you are all moving forward together, slowly. There is light at the end of the tunnel – it’s called hope. Get out of your head. When you are in your head you are often in enemy territory. When we feel sad and low, our thoughts never work for us. See them as thoughts – they are not real, they are just in your head. Ignore the negative ones, change the channel. Keep busy – watch box sets or even better, go to the gym, do some exercise. Exercise is great for releasing endorphins – feel good hormones.
Hope and you will go hand in hand as long as you do not discard her friendship. Lack of her presence, commonly called hopelessness brings you to a juncture where nothing is possible and everything is against you. It is situations like that lead to suicides and mental disruptions. Hope is the last thread that ties you down to life, after all else is gone.
