What gives you hope when you have none?
What is keeping you hopeful about the future? What gives you hope for the future in this fight for our earth? What are some positive trends? Share what you think others should know!
One positive trend I see is just how much people are talking about this issue and beginning to care tremendously for this problem. Everyday more and more people join this fight and do what they can whether that be scientists, engineers, biologists, ecologists, farmers, artists, designers, activists, and the average everyday people.
I recently did some research on non-profits and organizations that are trying to breed more heat-resistant corals. I see more and more people fighting for indigenous justice like in the Fairy Creek Blockades in Canada. I also see more positive trends in the energy sector with renewables being the cheapest energy source and governments, businesses, countries, etc. starting to implement them more than fossil fuels. I also just see great discussions on here where people are beginning to exercise their imaginations in what the world could be and what amazing things humans are capable of like in the r/solarpunk sub. Overall it just seems like no one is giving up and only more people are mobilizing. What are things that give you hope for the future of human ontology on this planet? I don’t want to distract from the fact that the situation is still very dire, but it is good to reconcile on the progress that is being made y’know? You deserve to look towards your future with hope and ambition.
If you're in a mental rut, just take a pause and take inventory of what is important to you. When you pause in life, you achieve a level of clarity that enables you to see so damn clear what it is that you should pursue. The meaning, the hope, the ambition will surely come rushing back to you. That I can almost promise. We're all so used to keeping busy, the rush of life, but perhaps it might, at times, be a distraction from pursuing what it is that gets you up in the morning - to get you looking forward to the day.
I know these words may sound naïve, a little too optimistic perhaps. However, in these difficult times, what is there left to do but be a tad optimistic, hey? There is nothing more dangerous than a state of mind devoid of hope. Not only are you vulnerable to the possible degeneration of mental health as you may fall into depression or anxiety, but you're at risk of missing out on so much that you're capable of. We're all a victim to something, everyone's a damn victim. Perhaps it is true what they say - you're not what happens to you but rather, what you do about it. Please never lose sight of your drive and ambitions. Pursue them as there is a reason they're surfacing in your mind. There may be risks along the way but the truth of the matter is that not taking the risk is itself, the greatest risk of all. I hope you all find what it is that drives you. I hope we all can pause and reflect and it'd be truly surprising just how quick the realisation hits you - the realisation of your capability, capacity and vigour for achievement. Don't compare yourself to others today, compare yourself to who you were yesterday and make those incremental improvements. There's nothing more beautiful than self-growth devoid of competitive comparisons with others which would inevitably be counter-intuitive. We all have our own paths in life, embrace it wholeheartedly to enliven the passion to drive you forward. What makes you hopeful for the future? How do you keep hope alive?
My body is starting to fail, I feel my age and then some, my country is no longer what it used to be, the planet is so flipping crowded and only getting more so . . . how do you keep enjoying life as you get older? It seems like you have to be somewhat delusional to continually find the good in everything and that's a trait I just don't have. I don't see myself being alive in the future.
As the title says, I can't see myself being alive in the future. Whenever I picture the future I don't see myself in it. I can't picture a future for myself. When I was younger I thought I'd be dead by now, I'm still alive and I don't know what to do with myself. I should've tried harder in school, I thought there'd be no point seeing as I wouldn't be alive for long but now I'm paying the consequences. I don't know what to do. What’s a good reason to keep yourself alive? I honestly didn't think it would get much attention and I certainly didn't expect what happened next...A very kind hearted stranger sent me a request asking if it would be okay to send me a gift via PayPal so that I could give my 3 year old a treat.
I'm not one to usually give my details out but the sender's posts and comments seemed sincere, so after much deliberation I sent my details.
5 minutes later and I have money in my PayPal that allowed me to treat my son and not stress for the next couple of days.
Yes, it's shit out there at the moment, but that act of kindness from a stranger on Reddit reduced me to tears and restored some faith in humanity.
Acts of kindness like that make me less scared for the future world my son will grow up in. Thank you my good Samaritan, I will pay it forward! Don't keep hope alive that your ex will return. Maybe they will and maybe they won't. After a breakup, your priority is to grieve, heal yourself and rebuild.
Your priority is to rediscover or learn to love yourself and find happiness within. You make yourself crazy if you're waiting for them to reach out, realize their mistake and even want to reconcile. Like I said earlier - maybe, maybe not. It's out of your control. Put yourself first. It's been a long time since you have, I'm sure, but you need to put yourself on a pedestal now. It's time. This pain will pass. It's part of healing and transformation. Be strong. Trust the process. You are one of a kind and you deserve love. There is someone out there waiting to meet you. Keep your head up or you just might miss meeting them.
