Believe

Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope. Romans 5:4.

You become what you believe. I’ve embraced this philosophy perhaps from an unwillingness to accept the negative forecast.
Hope, an emotion or state of mind? I haven’t decided. However I’m compelled to pronounce that in my case, I believe hope primarily is a learned concept. I’ve adopted hope, made it part of my family, I’ve given it a lovely place to dwell within my heart of hearts. I nurture it & integrate it into all that I am. Hopefulness is a conscious choice; optimism is good, especially in the unkind face of adversity.
