How To Find Hope When There Is None?

Life is an adventure! And just like it is the case with every adventure, it is filled with ups and downs. Not always will your skies be blue and full of sunshine. There will be times when the gloomy clouds will make your days cold and gray. 

In times like these, what does one do?

Let’s hold our hands together and talk about how we can find hope when there seems to be none. 

Keep Calm

It may seem like things aren’t going your way; take a moment to inhale and exhale!

Did you know that supercomputers in our noggin can sometimes make small problems seem super large? Notice how, when you miss the bus or a deadline, it feels like the end of the world. The truth is when you’re stressing about the mishap, you’re actually walking away from the solution! 

So when nothing seems to be going your way, take a moment to step back and breathe in. 1… 2… 3, voila! 

Now you’re back in the moment. Okay, cool, let’s now move on to the next step.

Patience

Humans tend to get a little impatient, which isn’t a very smart way to proceed toward a solution. Sometimes, finding hope requires a lot of work. When things aren’t going your way, perhaps you are looking in the wrong place!

It may take a lot of time and won’t be easy, but the key is to persist and keep working toward a solution. 

Have patience, and your struggle will bear fruit in the end. 

It’s Okay To Ask For Help 

Stop thinking you can do everything on your own. 

We often try to take the burden of our struggle ourselves. All that stress can cause us to overlook the bigger picture, the path to hope. So what do we do? 

Tell yourself it is okay to ask for help. Lean on a friend who will gift you with words of positivity and help you find hope when there is none. 

Think of the Bigger Picture

Sometimes, your struggle will feel like a never-ending voyage, a journey where the farther you see, you’ll be met only by the vast expanse of the ocean. 

In times like these, your faith will dwindle, but no matter how big the journey may seem, always think of the bigger picture. 

Results won’t come overnight; work diligently toward them. The bigger picture will slowly start to unravel, and everything, every effort you have made up till that moment, will bear fruit.

Spread the Word

And once you’ve conquered the issue, now what do you do? Was all the struggle for nothing? You’re wrong.

Spread the message to those who are going through the same thing you were. You can pass on the wisdom and make their hardship easier. And in time, they will pass on the same message to someone else. This will create an everlasting loop of hope.

Kiran Katib, in her book, A Wink With Coronavirus, wishes to instill the message of hope and the above-mentioned values in our little ones. The book is a fun and educational read that talks about how humanity conquered its biggest villain, the coronavirus.

Hope is what helps humans to look forward to something, even in the hardest of situations. Let’s prepare our little ones for the long run, so they may fight with bravery and conquer the worst.
