“Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.”

– Laini Taylor

Sometimes, hope is all we have, and that’s enough!

Hope is one of the most influential forces in society, capable of saving people when they are ready to call it quits.

Are you a hopeful person, or do you always look for the worst in others and yourself? We have several thousand thoughts in a day.

Being intentional about filling your mind with words that light you up can change your outlook tremendously!

Have you tried speaking one-word affirmations such as hopeful, loved, or forgiven, to yourself? They can calm self-doubt or worry.
