Because of what is happening throughout the world right now, the future will appear different for certain people.

Most people experience hopelessness at some point in their lives. It’s not only for a chosen few. Many of the world’s most famous, brilliant, and wealthy people have experienced hopelessness at times.

What do we tell ourselves when everything around us seems bleak, insurmountable, and intimidating? What are our possibilities? What else are our options? Do we remember and learn from the past? Does the past still have a role to play in our present?

Crossing our fingers and hoping for the best is simple. The word “hope” refers to a positive expectation. Although hope may not come readily to us, here’s the deal: in order to have hope, we must first believe that we can.
