Life can be gritty. At least it is if you are doing it right. Meaning, if you are getting in there, doing the work, and getting your hands dirty, you are going to encounter a certain amount of grit.  Hope is like soap. It will cleanse and purify the grit of life and leave you feeling refreshed, revived , and renewed. Use hope, as you would soap, to wash away the muck of life and to feel anew.  For hope is the foundation of change, the channel of dreams, and the beacon of light from above. Hope is a necessary element of human existance, and yet we don’t often think of using it as a tool for change. Or worse, we tend to think of ourselves as silly for hoping for something that the reasoning mind says may never happen. HAVE HOPE! And use hope as a tool for manifesting great things. For where there is hope, there is a bright, shiny place for dreams to come true.
