[ hope / Accomplishment ]

Having a low level of hope, or being uninspired in recent times, is not unexpected given the past two years.  It’s been a hard slog, and we have some way to go still, to repair the damage done.  I have immense hope that we’ll overcome the difficulties and retrieve our collective joy.  That’s what keeps me looking ahead.

There’s a direct relationship between hope and accomplishment.  Sure, we must always have hope; but when things are difficult, we also need to be accomplishing things.  Moving forward a little bit every day provides some confidence that the hope is not misplaced.
