This is Kelly Orchard’s Apple A Day. Sixty Seconds on wisdom, success and personal growth.  There are times when all seems hopeless. We want to give up. Most of us struggle with this feeling from time to time. Perhaps your financial circumstances seem hopeless, or your relationship is in trouble. It might be that your workplace is laying off people and you feel hopeless about future job prospects. Maybe you are sick and have lost hope in ever feeling better. Hope unifies us all. 

"The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure but from hope to hope." Wrote English writer Samuel Johnson.

We naturally want to hope for the best. I see this in the majority of my clients. We hope things will improve.  

And once we regain our hope; we rediscover our passion; enthusiasm; direction. Yes, the path may have changed, but when we remain hopeful, our circumstances become manageable. 

 



If you aren’t able to pull yourself from feeling hopeful, I would encourage you to reach out to a friend or loved one, or a professional counselor for help. Let the natural hope in you wake up!
