HOPE AND COURAGE

Life depends on hope. It feeds of the promise of tomorrow like a baby feeds off love. It is that quintessential entity which keeps the human race going. Animals don't have the mental faculty to comprehend this feeling and plants have little to do with 'hope'. Hope is positive in its passive form and when active it can be negative as well as positive. Statements like, "I really hoped for that to happen and now I m heart-broken" denote its negative side while something like, "I hoped for the best and the results were in my favor" throw light on the positive vibes emerging from this feeling.

Longing is a form of hoping. It is an extended structure. It is when strong hope for something is clouded by doubts or fears. We long for something only when we somehow subconsciously are aware that we can't have it. Our fear makes us want it even more and at this moment, hope turns a shade negative. When were the skies ever totally clear? When did they not hold the promise of sudden rains? It is impossible to attain totality. We can never really be too sure of anything. For to be so, one must be almighty. All we can really do is have the courage to follow our dreams. Nothing else is required.


The world will do all it can to dissuade us but the universe will always support the one who's heart is true, whose desire is mot maligned and whose purpose is clear. Courage is the first step. Courage in the face of opposition is a noble step. They say if you have a dream protect it even from yourself. So true! A friend once told me that the only thing standing between us and our dreams coming true is ourselves. Making it big in life is little about talent, it is almost 100% about the guts- the belief that we can manifest our wildest fantasies, that we can truly succeed beyond our imagination, the confidence to make it all possible whether we fake it or are actually feel it and above all, the COURAGE to face challenges and fulfill our soul's destiny in this universe.

An old saying goes, "Courage is not the absence of fear but the knowledge that something is more important than fear". Who has not been afraid of trying something for the first time? Who's legs haven't trembled before taking that first leap of faith-whether with a new job, an interesting opportunity or a relationship? How many times have you told yourself that such and such thing can't be done, or that it is just a silly dream which doesn't happen in "real" life? If you have told yourself any such thing then somewhere you have killed an innocent dream that could have manifested itself to take you on a journey of your life and then even if the result wasn't positive, you would have gained something priceless out of it. Also, "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it is that silent voice in your head that says, Tomorrow I will try again." So, whatever the situation might be, don't get bogged down; Get up, Fight for your right with all your strength, Give life and yourself another chance and know that whatever happens you will Survive. As the famous Kelly Clarkson song goes:
 "I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly,
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky,
And I'll make a wish,
Take a chance,
Make a change,
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the Sun."
