Hope brings one's focus on goal achieving into a broader view allowing one to see new fears and challenges and helping one to prepare. .
To be born is to live. To live is to fear. To fear is to be challenged. To accept one's fears is to be mature and be challenged. To face one's fears and accept the challenges is boldness. And to hope for the best is to be focused, bold, mature, challenged, and alive. .
Preparation, therefore, becomes an important idea. One would never enter into battle without armament and weapon. So why should one enter into responsible living without it? The saying goes, that one should always hope for the best and prepare for the worse. Notice, however, that the saying does not say to hope for the best or prepare for the worse. For with responsible living comes failure. Not necessarily complete failure, but certainly failures. Does failure mean giving up? No. If one was to walk down an unfamiliar sidewalk and trip and fall due to a large crack, should one never walk down the same sidewalk? For with failure comes even more wisdom and knowledge. And as many great men have said in the past, knowledge is power. Now one knows of the crack in the sidewalk and can be better prepared to face it when one walks down the same sidewalk. Preparation, therefore, is a necessity for living. .
Now, one's stature in life, one's career, one's financial situation, one's possessions never make the man. It is in the heart, with the wise and mature use of the mind, that makes the man. To ignore one's heart is to ignore one's true feelings; one's true fears. If one is faced with a life that is poor by today's standards, then one must work harder to use one's heart and mind. Never should one's stature, career, finances, or possessions lead their motives for living nor should they become one's goals. Too often human's accept the life they are handed without thinking--without feeling. But the one who sees his position on this planet as a human, faces his adversity, and makes a heart felt, conscious decision to set goals, have hope, and move forward is the one who conquers life in it of itself.
