Did you know that our staff gets asked how we remain positive in the face of our constant challenges? The answer is that we are committed to our patients and remain hopeful for a positive future.

So What Is Hope?

Of all the thoughts and notions a person can have, hope is probably closest to trust. When you have hope, you are placing your trust in the potential for something positive to happen.

You are trusting that taking the right actions will make a positive outcome more likely than taking the wrong actions. When you hope for a better future, you are placing trust in yourself to make good choices in life.

When you trust someone, you hope that they will act in a way that embodies that trust.

Why Is Hope So Important?

Hope is a healer.

Hope helps us to see that there are many positive possibilities ahead of us. Hope whispers, “Things will get better.”

Hope shows us how to act.

Hope is a bit like an unseen compass that points us in the direction of something beneficial to our future.

Hope is a motivator.

Hope is a source of energy. It helps us to see something better up ahead and to put one foot in front of the other to move forward.

Hope encourages self-belief.

Hope not only helps you to believe that something better is coming, but it also gives you the belief that you are the person who can make that something better come true.

Hope combats negative thoughts.

It is difficult to have negative thoughts and be hopeful at the same time. Hope allows us to see light at the end of the tunnel and this light acts as a challenge to any unwanted thoughts.

Hope brings inner peace.

As with negative thoughts, hope can help ease negative feelings too. Hope allows joy, enthusiasm, and quiet contentment to grow.

Hope is contagious.

People want to feel hopeful. The more hope we have, the more hope we will inspire in others.
