About this episode
Hope provides a sense of optimism and a belief in a better future, which can be a powerful source of strength, especially during difficult times or when things are less than perfect. Hope isn't just an emotion—it's a form of energy that powers us through impossible landscapes. Unlike optimism, which often depends on favorable conditions, hope is the persistent current that flows even when the present evidence suggests things aren’t going our way. This energy has a unique signature. While fear contracts us and despair depletes us, hope expands our capacity. It fuels us to take action, sometimes doing things we wouldn’t have previously felt possible.
