Look toward tomorrow with inspired hope. It does you no good to dwell on the past, for there is nothing you can do to change it. Learn from the past, but live for tomorrow. Make the decisions in your life that will lead you down the path that inspires you and gives you hope for a better experience in this life.

Hope is a powerful thing. Even the faintest glimmer of hope can inspire a person to push through the hard times and strive for a better tomorrow. It can be the one thing that keeps a person going when things seem the hardest.

Hope is something that drives people from all walks of life. In this feature piece I was working with Candice Valenzuela. As a member of the school board she knows what it means to have hope for the future. Working to ensure that the youth of our country have the best education system in place as possible.

It wasn’t enough for me to tell my story of what hope means. So I have reached out to people around me in the community to get their take on what hope means to them, and why they think it is important for people to hold on to hope.

Hope is a powerful sensation. It can give strength to those in dark times. It can be what pushes someone to work toward something bigger than themselves when they can’t see the end of the tunnel.
