Embrace a sense of hopefulness
Robert Mershon

My 2017 wish is simple, 'Hope.” Hope based on the belief that tomorrow can be better than today and the belief that we have the ability to make it better. Hopelessness is the lack of belief that you have the power and ability to improve your own life.
Nothing good comes from life without hope. A very wise man once told me that nothing good happens unless someone makes it happen. Hope is what drives us forward. Hope is what gets us out of bed in the morning. Failure is always an option but hope is what prevents us from accepting it.
