Spark of hope

Focus on the opportunities. Persevere through the difficulties.

Remind yourself that those difficulties and opportunities are often two aspects of the same reality. Offer yourself the wisdom to consider differing perspectives on the same situation.

As you do so, take good care of yourself. Nurture and engage your potential to bring good out of whatever happens.

Your circumstances are never perfect in every way. Neither are they ever without hope.

From a tiny spark of hope take a tiny step. Feel the power of doing so, of the difference it makes, then take another step, a little more ambitious.

Even when the pains are more evident, the opportunities are still there. Continue to choose hope and to reliably act on it, for that’s what will bring you to a more positive place.
