Negativity will always make things worse, but It can be difficult to maintain a positive outlook and keep hope alive. However, it's important to know that hope is the fuel that keeps us going even when we could not see a positive result. Have you ever been In a position where you could not see a glimpse of hope, what did you do? did you still find hope where there's none? just like when you're in a desert without water, and you're thirsty for water but you still have hope that you'll find water to quench your thirst, that's the highest determination that one can ever have, but it can only be done only if you work to keep the hope alive.

Just like I have always known that life is not a bed of roses, as we are hoping for the best, the worse should also be prepared for, Of course, no one will want to have a bad experience, but when it comes, hope is the only virtue that can make us scales through the storm, and it makes us focus on the things that bring us joy and gratitude. Having hope will always make you remember when things are going on fine in the past. I have learned to see beyond difficult circumstances and envision positive outcomes about everything even in the face of setbacks and obstacles.

So many times, I have encountered a situation where I thought there was nothing I could do, a situation where I feel like giving up, I situation where I will just feel like ending everything because all hope is gone, but again, my inner mind will always tell me, "mary if you give up now, what about the struggle you've been passing through? what about the sleepless night? what about the dreams you want to achieve? are you going to leave your dream unachieved? ". Those thoughts made me see hope where it seems there's none, and whenever I see possibility out of impossibility, I tried my best to make things work out and I see a positive outcome in the end, that's the power of hope.

Keeping hope alive has always been my watchword because it makes me stay motivated and be persevered through challenges. Most time when People talk to me about a particular problem, no matter how big it might be, even if there's nothing I can do, I always make them hope that everything will be okay. There are times our thoughts work with the things that will happen to us physically, when we poison our mind with negative thoughts i.e a thought without no hope, it will be very difficult to scale through the situation, but when we have hope, it will make us work harder in other to scale through the situation we are passing through and it's has been working for me a lot of time.

Just like I said initially, it will always be difficult, but that has been the practice that is keeping me grounded in life. During the good times, I learned how to give gratitude, and during the bad time, I keep hope alive with gratitude that everything is gonna fall in place. The journey has not been easy, but hope has always made me see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is something everyone can practice because it will always help you to stay positive in every situation.
