Hope can be an effective weapon in the battle.
PP-Hope is a Weapon
00:00:01 Speaker 1
I know you're going through a tough time at the moment.
00:00:05 Speaker 1
It feels like you're hit on every side by so many different problems and situations and issues you feel as if all hell is broken loose and decided to pick.
00:00:16 Speaker 1
A fight with you.
00:00:18 Speaker 1
But I believe that in such a time you have a weapon that is well capable of getting you through this situation.
00:00:28 Speaker 1
And that weapon is hope.
00:00:31 Speaker 1
This isn't some magical belief that just because you expect something to happen, it's going to happen.
00:00:37 Speaker 1
No, that's not hope at all.
00:00:41 Speaker 1
But there is expectation and hope.
00:00:45 Speaker 1
But real hope is the attitude that even if the good that I expect to happen doesn't happen.
00:00:54 Speaker 1
I'm going to be OK.
00:00:56 Speaker 1
I expect to get this contract signed.
00:00:59 Speaker 1
I expect to get this promotion.
00:01:01 Speaker 1
I expect to be successful, but even if I don't, even if I fail.
00:01:07 Speaker 1
I'm going to.
Be OK, I expect to survive this cancer, I expect.
00:01:15 Speaker 1
Heal from this.
00:01:17 Speaker 1
But even if I don't, I'm going to be OK.
00:01:21 Speaker 1
I expect to find the love of my life.
00:01:24 Speaker 1
Maybe have two kids and then a dog named Dexter.
00:01:28 Speaker 1
But even if I don't?
00:01:32 Speaker 1
00:01:34 Speaker 1
So in this time where you feel all this pressure and struggle because of all of the problems and situations that are hitting you at once.
00:01:45 Speaker 1
Expect good again.
00:01:48 Speaker 1
Expect good again and then make up in your mind that no matter what happens, good or bad, even if you don't get what you expected to get, you are going to be OK.
00:02:03 Speaker 1
That, my friend, is hope.
00:02:05 Speaker 1
That can get you through anything.
