All of us live for a purpose: The purpose of life -- sometime clear, sometime not; sometime achievable, sometime not. But, we continue our journey with a hope and it's that hope which defines our quality of life.
Hope is the biggest motivator towards achieving success in living a purposeful life. When you dump your hope, you get reduced to a creature living just for the sake of it.
You hope to get a good education that will get you a good job; you hope to get married to a girl who would care for you; you hope to live a rewarding social life surrounded by your children, family members and friends; you hope to live a healthy life...
But sometime, when things don't work out the way you had originally planned them, you start losing hope. Looking at others, whose hopes are producing better results than yours, you get frustrated. Eventually, you start blaming your destiny for slicing down your piece of hope and at some point in time accept your hopeless state of affairs without complaints.
And there you go wrong, because, hope is nothing but the reflection of your expectations out of life.
If you have high hope from life, obviously you are an ambitious person. However, to make your hope come true you need to work hard. Well, you do that. But despite working hard, quite often you don't get the desired results.Over a period of time, your hope starts diminishing in size and you remain contented with whatever you have achieved in life.
Don't do that. Remain an ambitious person. Never, in view of repeated failures, let your hope of making it happen in life die a premature death. Let every failure that you experience in life fuel the fire of hope instead of throwing water onto it, and let the fire get stronger and stronger until you hit bull's eye.
Hope is the only bridge connecting a shallow land of mediocrity with the wonderland of extraordinaryship. Never blow this candle of hope out from your life.
