Hope

Hope is the thing that constantly pushes us forward. Without the hope that something will happen that will bring a positive change in our lives, or without the hope that a certain event and/or situation will turn in our favor, most of us would probably give up on life. We all hope for something every day. We have old unfulfilled hopes and new ones, hopes we would like to see become a reality soon or at some point in our future. Sometimes we want this to happen as soon as possible in our future, even though we are quite aware that it may take a few years.

Hope can be realistic and unrealistic. Sometimes even those unrealistic hopes can be realized if we are determined enough, patient enough and have enough strength and will. Unrealistic hopes can seem quite elusive, as when parents have been known to tell their children that they are not capable of great success, which can encourage the child to defy them and achieve a great deal of business success within 10 to 20 years.

Or parents can be rude and aggressive towards their children and make it difficult for them to grow into emotionally healthy people through bad behavior and words. At this point, the child hopes that they will eventually escape this unhealthy environment and that they will never allow themselves to behave in such an unhealthy way towards their own child. In addition, they hope that once they leave their parents’ home, they will no longer allow any kind of abuse from their own parents. That child will consider their parents to be “dead to them”, because they will not be able to feel anything positive towards them. They have “killed” all the child’s positive feelings and love for them. This is how an ever-increasing number of parents are behaving nowadays. Parents are becoming more and more irresponsible and immature, and thus too laid back and lazy in raising and treating their children properly. This happens because most parents do not love their children. An increasing number of children are born because of the mother’s or the father’s interests, or both. Such a situation is typical of the contemporary world. There is almost no respect or responsibility towards anyone or anything anymore. This is an obvious example of separation from God.

Hopes that are realistic may not be realized, depending on drastic changes in situations. People change, the environment changes, given circumstances and situations change. Everything is one big change. As we get closer to the end of this age, there will be bigger and bigger changes on Earth, and consequently in people’s hopes. Now there are more and more people with high hopes. Nowadays, these hopes are increasingly focused on possessing more money and power, while neglecting the fact that everything must be guided and created out of love. This just means that people are more and more focused on the material, and less and less focused on emotions, feelings and love. A separation from God is characteristic of the end of this age, which is why we have so little compassion and love today. Activists are increasingly active in protecting our planet. People have begun to protest, just as nature has. There are still good, kind, positive and compassionate people. The majority of passive people, who only observe what is happening around them, hope in their hearts that there will be those who will rebel, who will find ways to make it clear that such irresponsible behavior towards the Earth is not acceptable. That hope has created a positive force that has rebelled and become more and more visible. Resistance against conglomerations that uncompromisingly pollute the Earth for profit and money is growing stronger. Everyone should participate in this in open resistance with their positive energy, or participate in such a way that they engage their neighbors.

This does not mean that every hope is good. The hopes of negative people are generally not good, either for them or for their environment. Hopes that undermine someone’s welfare or make someone physically, emotionally or mentally unstable are bad. We should think about every one of our hopes, because every thought has its own driving energy that directs it towards the possibility of realization. Always hope for positive things and let love guide you. This means that all hopes will be connected with God. Leave every hope to Him. Focus on it and if it would be good for that hope to be realized, God will make it possible.

I have always had a lot of hope. My greatest and strongest hope has always been that love will triumph in everything. As a child, I had hopes that my parents would be able to understand me and that they would realize that I was different from others. I experienced this only many years later. I hoped that God would send me a job that I would be able to support myself with, since I couldn’t complete my studies of a topic that interested me. He began guiding me in my late twenties and continues to do so to this day. Thanks to that, I became the person I always wanted to be: calm, self-aware, positive, full of love and understanding, a person who can and wants to help people understand how to behave to help themselves and make this world of ours a better, happier and healthier place. I hoped that God would send me a person with whom a relationship full of love and respect would be realized. One part of my hopes has come true, now I am waiting for the other. I hope that it will be realized soon. My life, like any other, contains an immense amount of hope. I have discussed some great hopes. I also have many little hopes every day, and they are focused on little everyday things. Every day I hope I will be able to do everything I planned to do for that day. More or less everything is realized, because God helps me so that I am not idle between certain jobs, whether at home or at work.

Openness to love and to God works wonders. Those who are open and full of love are absolutely aware of this. Such people exist, and there are more and more people who strive to live that way.
