🌿“Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.” ― Samuel Smiles 🌿 {Read about the author below.}
Hope, by definition, “is the feeling of desire or will for something to happen.” A simple feeling can seem small and sometimes meaningless, but many people don’t know that having hope and staying positive can actually vastly improve overall well-being and shield the brain from anxiety during hard times.
Hope actually triggers positive problem-solving abilities, pushing individuals to find creative solutions to their problems instead of being paralyzed by anxious fear.
Hope can also improve one's sense of control and forward outlook. Illness can leave someone feeling powerless in their everyday life, and being able to control your thought process can help to reduce feelings of doubt and unease.

🌿 About the author 🌿
Samuel Smiles was a British author who lived in the 1800’s. Smiles is greatly known for his book, “Self Help,” in which he discusses improper habits and how to fix them in order to live a happier and more fulfilled life. While he may not know of the struggles of our current modern age, his words still reign true today: “The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor.”
