Hope is Being Able to See That There is Light EP 18
from Your Daily Dose of Hope · host Phyllis Nichols,, SoundAdvice Strategies
We are all driven by things that affect us in a personal way. It's not that we don't care about big issues that may not affect us directly like poverty or military conflicts or natural disasters - of course we do even if we aren't personally impacted - but we experience life in a series of every day moments and repeated decisions - filled with routine circumstances - and often we don't really find ourselves looking for hope until our every day regular-ness or routine-ness is affected. Then things can go from routine which we're okay with to difficult or even scary. Hope can feel elusive at those times so it's worth nurturing a bit of hope every day. That concept reminds me of a quote about little bits of hope - and I went searching for the whole thing and it's by Desmond Tutu: Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. Desmond Tutu
