HOPE

Just to make this more colorful, here is Ashvin Harrison’s Tree of Hope

HOPE — This four-letter word has been my oxygen since the moment I had become consciously aware of it. Hope has given me a point to live. Hope drives the major portion of my day. Eventually, hope has become a driving force for many aspects of my life. They say before you do it, believe it. Hope does that job for me. It makes me believe that I can be anything, literally anything. Be it watching a cricket match when the team I support is on the losing side with 2 runs to defend in the last 6 balls or starting over a personal project which I abandoned midway for the last 45 times. Sometimes, it’s visible. Sometimes, it’s not. But, it always stayed with me.

No matter how many times the situations put me down, I, somehow, gather the courage to press the reset to start from zero yet another time. Well, this can be an advantage sometimes. But, you have to bear the downsides too. This hope is the main reason for my irrational optimism. I can’t blame it though. Because this has stayed with me and made sure I went through everything which I have to, with at least 0.1% of a positive outlook. It’s always so fascinating to observe this. Even the 99% of the negativity cannot win over me just because of that 1% of positivity. Reason — HOPE. That’s why I call this my best friend.

While I was writing this, I asked myself whether I should share this or not. The rational side of my brain gave me an answer straight away that I haven’t crossed any significant milestone to be eligible to share this. But, here comes hope again. Apparently, my hope told me that it’s fine to share my opinion even when I’m nobody & this post might help at least a couple of you who are reading this who are just like me.

To all of us shooting our dreams under the same sky, I would say this. Go for it. Even if you don’t cross the milestone, just the experience of trying to cross would be worth it. Eventually, you’ll make Hope your best friend to have your back always.

Happy Friendship Day to all those who are hopeful & trying to be hopeful ❤
