At all stages of life, we have goals and dreams and desires. But not everyone has Hope. Some people have it and then lose it. And sometimes, just when you think you’ve lost Hope, there she is, the top of her head cresting over the horizon and she comes into view again, determined, placing one foot in front of the other and pushing forward to reach new limits she never thought possible.
Sometimes, it’s not Hope alone that can get you to where you want to be, sometimes it takes a village or a team to help push you and motivate you and give you something to strive for.
And when Hope transforms into a tangible and successful outcome, you can look back on the experience and realize that without Hope, you may not have seen things so clearly or even pushed yourself as hard as you did just because Hope was by your side.
This weekend, I had the support of an amazing team and that team had Hope. We worked together, pushed each other mentally and physically and psyched each other up to get to the end of our 10 mile journey together. It was an amazing ride but not a minute of it would have been the same if it weren’t for Hope. I feel privileged and so very thankful to have you in my life.
