I saw this poem and
thought it was a good one to post for the week.
As always, but especially at this time of year, I want to thank you for your support. It is a time to reflect
and prepare myself for the final push of the semester, and as all of you know,
this is my last! Your readership means
the world to me, so thank you for investing your time and effort in this. It means so much! And now for the poem!
An Inspirational
Thought,
Motivational Thought Poem
for Hope
by Catherine
Pulsifer
As long as we have hope,
we have direction,
the energy to move, and
the map to move by.
We have a hundred
alternatives, a thousand paths and infinity of dreams.
Hopeful, we are halfway
to where we want to go; Hopeless, we are lost forever.
Hope is the anticipation
of an event or an occurrence.
Our own individual hopes
are our own desires,
or could be considered
our wish for the future.
Hope can give us a
feeling of optimism when we are feeling discouraged.
As Diogenes once
said, "Hope is the dream of a waking man."
Hope is one of the prime
differences between successful people and those who can only see failure.
Successful people have
hope because they can clearly see their goals.
People who only see
failure have no hope because they see no light,
they set no goals, and
they see nothing accomplished.
Successful people see
alternatives and are willing to try different ways.
People who only see
failure are unable to see another way and give up to easily.
With hope you are halfway
to where you want to go; by setting your goals, and taking the action to
achieve them,
you will see your hope
turn into your reality!
