Every person has a responsibility to be hopeful. Each of us can choose to dream a future for ourselves that is different or better than the present. Each of us can develop the strength to move steadily to our ‘dream future’ doing what we can along the way to model for others the change we wish to bring about in the world. True hope is action oriented and not just a dream or an illusion. Active hope inspires and energizes the will to overcome obstacles. Hope provides the impetus to begin new journeys. Hope without action cannot endure.

When we hope for new unlimited potential, it brings to the fore the immense choice of new beliefs and a new understanding of life and new hopes in the form of hope of creativity, of authenticity and diversity, and the hope of community. Hope comes from a new story. Never leave hope…because hope leads the way to your future.

”Your hopes, dreams and aspirations are legitimate. They are trying to take you airborne, above the clouds, above the storms, if you only let them.”
--William James
 

• Make sure to check on your progress when attaining your goal. A goal should be measurable, so you can see for sure that you are making progress. For instance if you want to buy a house this year, you need to be thinking in terms of scouting the area and looking for a suitable place. If you manage to do this in the first month of your period, you are obviously progressing.

• Now that you have progressed to your goal, you are ready to act on it. Draw up a list of all practical things that need to be done to get you closer to that goal.

• Never lose sight of what you want to achieve. This helps you stay focused on what your goal is and what you need to do to achieve it.

Whatever your goal happens to be, the process of achieving it is essentially the same. Make your goal a priority in your life, only then will you be able to accomplish it.

“If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.”
