Hope:to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence/the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.
We hear the word 'hope' so very often so i decided to check up its definition. Hope seems to be an important part of many peoples lives.
Allan K. Chalmers believes that the Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
and according to Christopher Reeve Once you choose hope, anything's possible.
So... hope is apparently something great huh! Very often we are consumed by hope; hoping for the best, hoping for an outcome. Ironically hoping does not get us anywhere nearer to getting or earning what we are hoping for.
Personally i feel we are often consumed by hope to such an extent that we loose track of our goals and are solely dependent on hope alone instead on the fact that our own efforts are enough in achieving our goals. So i guess there is some sense in the phrase abandon hope.
If you havent realised- this phrase is often used when we are in grave peril or when the 'end' is near and i believe there is a reason why. This is because hope is a distraction and by abandoning hope we are able to focus and direct our energy into what truly matters and from that we will find that we are more effective and more able in achieving our goals.
i've given up hoping or feeling for anything except for 5 people that matter and i feel it works. I find myself more focused but i just hope this feeling of emotionless doesn't consume me completely to the extent that i loose the people that matter( already i find myself disconnected from them). But for all of you out there who hope for the best-stop hoping and focus in getting it by means that are within your grasp.
note: abandoning hope can only be done by letting go of emotion.
I came across this poem and i want to share it.
Only a few will remember these songs
Only a handful of people
Who sit in a room
Occasionally,
Between mornings,
And always the road…
Can be faithful To their breadcrumb existence,
Whose home is nowhere in particular
Save the womb
And the catacomb
Of the spiderweb mind,
Which is never here and never there
Only a few will remember these words,
Will take the path that leads
To nowhere
Always going onward
While looking back in wonder
And bewilderment;
Between the starlight evening
And the cock-crow morning
Forever tumbling
In no order really
Only a few,
Be kind,
for they are part of you…
Only a few,
who will never see each others faces
But who know and understand,
That there is a power
Which knows
Which sees
Which frees
The mind from darkness and pain;
The thought which directs the hand upon the wheel
The secret voice that says; “all is not in vain”
Only a few,
who will always be together only in thought,
For their thoughts seek each other out
And mingle,
And therein is truth born
And therefore,
They need never come too close.
“The eagle flies,
from the centre crown
At a point where the lines cross
And the eyes are vacant”

I want to soar on wings like eagles
I want to run and not be weary
I want to walk and not be faint
