Every day we seamlessly do someone’s job or ours without having any second thought. In the process, if a small disturbance happens or the routine gets disturbed with losses in business or from personal problems, we tend to break emotionally as well as physically. The reason being for it is, we don’t take sadness in the same way we welcome happiness in our life. We must understand the fact that both happiness and sadness are equals in life. Happiness is always canceled by sadness and vice versa.
As the law of equilibrium says that the force acting on a body is zero when the opposite force is equal to the exerted force. This applies to life as well. If the exerted force is happiness, sadness is the opposite force to it. Our emotion status always tends to be zero. Most of the people are not able to see life in this way. For those who drain and drown their life with sadness, the hope of happiness is induced by life.
When the time is not good and you are not able to withstand your sadness, life gives you a glimmer of hope to stand against your sadness and it gives you a chance to reinvent or redo things that u failed to do before. Let me tell you our story in this case,
When I and my best friend started our startup InspiredMemories, we failed to rise from the ground because we never tried to establish our basement in fertile soil. We were broke completely and left with nothing in life. We suffered bad times being homeless when we decided to pay for office instead of renting a house. We made our office as a home without having a bed to sleep, no food to eat regularly. When everything seemed lost, we found something to cling on. A hope that held us together. It was not a grand change to our lives but some help came from somewhere to earn money by ourselves by doing freelancing jobs.
This was not the first time in my life, I had this kind of help for being hopeful. From my childhood itself whenever things went bad, somewhere or someone always found me and helped me to come out of it. I don’t say this happens in everyone’s life but help comes to those who are hopeful. Hope is like Mother Mary coming in your dreams.
We don’t need chunks of help to get up and run when our legs are broke, we just need a glimmer. We humans always tend to get up when we knocked down. We think it is not possible but it is not so difficult either. Invoking inner strength is necessary to get up. Once we are awake, our will power, mind power, creative thinking always arises that will get you out of any tough situation. To be awake, we should have hope that better things will happen. Always light comes after every night. Even the moon vanishes for only a night.
This hope is internal that we possess when we face these kinds of situations. When it comes to a larger view, for example, organizational view or in taking risks in life — good hope is one of the essentials for success.
If you are the CEO of an organization, how do you choose to take risks? Nobody in this world is perfect in predicting future outcomes of the business and no top executives are fortune tellers. All are human beings like us. They are not Gods either. All they do while taking the decision is that they take a leap of faith in making good decisions and hope for the good things to happen. The decisions are driven by their experiences and observations about the past.
Before landing on to a single decision, he/she must have gone through 10s of options to consider not only from the people around us — inside them as well. As I involved in the interview of top leaders and their decision making, they all agree with the fact that they sample every choice they have and measure outcomes from inside and later lands on to the decision which helps the cause effectively hoping that they are right. When it goes wrong again they start executing different things and hope for good things to happen.
Having hope seems to be an uncertainty of choice but that is not true. Having hope is courage and telling yourself to move forward. Nourishing yourself to be accountable. That accountability can be a success or a failure. Hope remains constant. It builds positive thinking in you.
I don’t tell the hope is the mother of all good things. Sometimes hoping for bad things to happen hit back to you as well. Hoping toward bad things will also influence bad promises in you. For example, we can consider how terrorists are formed, one is of false inspirations and unfair things that may have happened in their life. Secondly, lack of education about the true purpose of life which tends to generate false hopes like the liberation of partiality, laws, etc.
Conclusion:
Hope is there for every living thing out there but we are humans and certainly, we are special to build wonderful things. We always need to hope for the good things to happen in life. Everything is there out there is good and nothing is bad. There are only bad choices, not bad people. Love to live and hope for a better future where we build that makes our world to be a better place to live.
Happy living… Be creative and enjoy loving the cape of good hope.
