Hello lifectioners,
It's easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today, but there will be dark days ahead of us, too. There will be days when you feel alone, and that is when hope is needed most. No matter how buried it gets or how lost you feel, you must promise me that you will hold onto hope. Keep it alive. We have to be greater than what we suffer. My wish for you is to become hope - people need that. And even if we fail, what better way is there to live? As we look around here today, at all the people who helped make us who we are, I know it feels like we are saying goodbye, but we will carry a piece of each other into everything that we do next, to remind us of who we are and who we are meant to be.
-Peter Parker, The Amazing Spiderman
This speech has been the inspiration for my blog post this time.
Hope is a beautiful feeling you have inside you that everything will happen the way you want it to, something you cherish, something you don't want to loose.
- WHAT IS HOPE?
Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to wake up alive the next morning but still we set alarm for tomorrow.
'That's Hope.'
Hope is the burning desire in a person that enables us to achieve heights.
It is the ability of seeing the best out of all the situations, even the worst ones.
Are you feeling low?? Are you feeling that you are not strong enough to hope big?? So, I will take you one step further with a small video followed by some strong words.
Before we proceed, take some time to watch this video,
to learn about this guy Nick Vjicic, a man with no limbs.
"I was eight years old depressed; nine years old even darker; at 10 years old I came to the edge and I thought to myself, there is no hope.
At age ten, I tried to drown myself in six inches of 15 centimeters of water.
You know, I told my dad I just wanted to relax. But really, I wanted to end my life. I had enough.
The first two times, I rolled over; I was trying to work out how much error holding my lungs before I let it out.
The third time, in my mind knowing that I wanted to get out of here, because of the bullying in my life, because I was going to be a burden to my parents and had nothing to look forward to.
I realized at that moment, that if I actually went through with committing suicide, I would leave a greater burden for my parents than they already had. So, when I saw in my mind; my mom; and my dad; and my brother crying at my grave, if I went through with that.
That one thought saved me. You can save a person's life just with one though.
You may have arms and legs, but unless you know three things.Number one, who are you, and what your value is?Number two, what is your purpose here in life!?, andNumber three, what is your destiny when you're done here.?If you don't know the answers of any of those three questions you're more disabled than I.William Barclay said, "The greatest two days in anyone's life is the day you were born and the day you knew why!
I know that, there are a billion people going hungry today. I know that this year a million people will commit suicide; it's one every forty seconds. I know today they're 120 million slaves.
So, many people tease each other- you know you're too short, you're too tall, you look whatever a
different hair. And all that it doesn't matter see thing is when you're in school, when you're growing up in life, it actually sort of matters to people how you look and then he matters to you because it matters to others. Why??
Why does it matter how you look? I know so many teenagers, who look themselves in the mirror and wish that they had a different buddy. I want to ask you what are you going to believe. Are you going to believe in yourself.
Are you going to believe everybody else's judgment on you. Are you going to believe people, when they say that you're a failure.
No one really likes you, nor cares about you. That's what this world is!
We have to change ourselves. You know, so many people put me down and say, "Nick, you look too weird" ,and "No one's really a friend" and "you can't do this" and "you can't do that."
One day, everything's fine. It's not like, you know just whatever I couldn't change my circumstance. I couldn't just one day wake up. And, say "Hey! Give me arms and legs. I need arms, legs."
But it was so hard because people put me down and I started believing that I was not good enough I started believing that I was a failure.
I thought to myself, you know I can't go on to go onto a soccer field like everybody else and I can't ride my bike; and I can't skateboard and all these sort of things and I started getting depressed. I thought what kind of purpose do I have to live I mean do you.
Are you just here to live?? To die?? I mean, is there not a purpose for me? Is there not a purpose in life?
And, I had questions and no answers and asked my mom and dad why did this happen?
I asked doctors, why did this happen they don't know there are some things in life that are out of your control. That you can't change and you're going to live with the choice. That we have thought is either to give up or keep on going.
But, I tell you there are some times in life, where you fall down and you feel like you don't have the strength to get back up. Since, I'm down here face down, and I have no arms, no legs. It should be impossible for me to get back up. But, it's not you see. I will try 100 times to get up, and if I fail 100 times if I fail and I give up, do you think that I'm ever going to get up.
NO! but if I fail. I try again and again and again. For as long as I try there's ways that chance of getting up does that make sense and it's not the end until you've given up.
Just the fact that you're here, should persuade you that you have another chance to get back up; that we have a choice.
We tend to be angry for what we don't have, or be thankful for what we do have- you have a choice every day.
I just want you to know that it's not the end it matters, but how you're going to finish.
Are you gonna finish strong?
At age 10, I actually tried to commit suicide, by trying to drown myself in my bathtub and the only reason I decided to stay was because I didn't want to leave my loved ones with that pain. So, I decided to give my broken pieces a chance. Man!!! I am glad that I'm still here today.I still have no arms or legs but everything's changed!
I hope you are inspired to know that if I can dream big then so can you that honor was find your peace and you'll make your walls doors you"
Hope is the burning lamp in the darkness. The hope guides you all the way through the darkness as it
is the only burning flame that is gonna pull you out of the darkness you are entrapped in.
Though, being just a 4 lettered word, it accompanies with itself F-A-I-T-H. Faith always follows hope. Faith is the fuel of the burning lamp of Hope.
With the undoubtable FAITH, you can achieve anything that you wish for.
Let me explain the true meaning of Faith, & Hope.
You need to develop that level of faith in order to achieve your desires. And, for achieving the desires, you need to take actions.Once, all villagers decided to pray for rain, on the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella.'That's Faith.'
Amount of actions you do,Defines the outcome for your desires.
-Aman Khurana
It is always possible for you to have a happy life, no matter what your circumstances are. Just stay positive, have faith, and feel hopeful that you at least got a chance to live the moment.
You are just going right!
Wish you a hopeful, happy and healthy life.
Stay strong and lastly do not forget to
HOPE
