When All Hope Is Lost
Hope is the greatest strength we can have in darkness. In a desolate state, it is easy to lose hope and surrender to the void but when all hope is lost everything seems to fade away. Hope is one of the greatest strengths we can ever have in life. I see hope not just as an encouragement but as a way I breathe through struggles or challenges.

In these present hard times, hope is the key to overcoming all struggles. Hope is important for mental reasons also, because when there is hope all positivity and motivation are encouraged but when there is no hope there will be mental problems like depression, anxiety, Negativity, and thinking which can affect the health status of an individual. I see hope as not just a a word but a life satisfaction and a resilience to my living and surviving spirit.
Hope is the beginning of life, it is not just a destination but a journey we must have to survive. My journey with hope and life has been suffocating any glimmer of optimism in me. Sometimes I try to reflect on that darkness and if there was a way to make it disappear immediately but life experiences have taught me that no matter what I face other people also face the same challenges but our Sense of Hope, differentiates us all.

There are some key ways how I strengthen myself during this hard time.
Holding Unto Believe and Faith; Am a religious man, brought up in a religious country. I grew up in a Christian home and hope is one of the biggest teachings of the Bible. We were taught to believe in ourselves and God. Reading the Bible helps to strengthen my words and proverbs which grows my spirit of hope.
Reading of Motivational Books; Reading books has been one of my major vital domains that strengthen my hope. There are books that when I read, I get the positive mindset that builds my hope and combat my negative thoughts. There are books like; “Think Rich and Grow Rich”, “Rich Dad and Poor Dad”, and several others.
Sharing My Problems with someone I trust; I have a friend who shares every challenge or problem she faces, I also share mine with her. Sharing of problems helps me relieve myself of my thoughts and reflections. I will encourage you to Connect with others or people around you build a strong relationship with people and lean on supportive friends.
Staying Motivated: In these present hard times if I don't stay motivated, especially in a country like Nigeria, I will be like a dead man walking, I will just be surviving but not living a good life. Motivation should not be underrated. I get motivated by, watching talk shows, Movies, From Friends, and families.
Accepting am not perfect; I believe in the fact that I am not perfect same way nobody is perfect, and what we all go through is a challenge we face one way or the other. So I practice self positivity which inspires me every day.
I will encourage everyone to never give up and always stay positive regardless of whatever darkness or struggle we may go through. Hope is in us already we just need to strengthen it.

Hope is truly a positivity we must cling unto and like you said, it's a tool we must carry through life's journey.
Faith and Hope are intertwined, a driver for the other.
It's good to have friends we can trust with our troubles and thoughts
You are right 👍, thanks for sharing your thoughts and response also
You're welcome
Hello dear @mikechrist 🙋♀️
It is very important what you say about accepting that we are not perfect. That also has to complement our concept of hope, because sometimes we have to put it in someone else, who does have the real solution in his hands, be it a human or God, as you exposed today. 😉
