Chapter 1: Hope to dream... Dream to hope
“We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope.”
Martin Luther King
The current atmosphere of fear, imminent hardship and doom reinforces and perpetuates pessimistic and negative thinking. An attitude of optimism, has understandably, been eroded by difficult and uncertain times, trauma and illness.
Anticipating or looking forward to positive events or outcomes is a way of thinking that has to be reintroduced and rediscovered. The purpose of this EBook is to challenge destructive thinking and attitudes and find a way to embrace optimism and restore hope in your life. One suggestion is to develop a symbol for hope that represents the challenge and expresses your intention to move forward. A specially developed hope wristband is available at www.hopechoice.com
“Do not fear to hope...Each time we smell the autumn’s dying scent, we know that primrose time will come again.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Chapter 2: Benefits of the hope challenge
“Hope is like a country road, there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.”
Lin Yutang
