Hope is not Wishful Thinking. It is a state of being and a skill that has in -depth evidence to help people achieve success in life.
Wishful Thinking, on the other hand, is like dreams in the air without a ladder to climb, to have a destination without a card, or tries to operate a Jet-Engine aircraft without instructions. It sounds nice, but is impossible to realize. You don’t have what you need to let it happen!
What real hope is
Real hope is useful, practical and realistic. Better yet, it is feasible and can be learned.
Is a popular approach Hope Theory. This concept is used by colleges to study how hope influences the academic performance of students. Researchers discovered that students with high levels achieve better grades and graduated earlier compared to people with less hope.
Hope can be split into two components:
- Path – The “how” of hope. This is what people think of and prepare plans for achieving their goals.
- Desk – The “I can” of hope. This is the conviction that the person can achieve his goals.
Hope really works?
According to Webster’s Dictionary, Hope is defined as a noun as: “Desire accompanied by the expectation of or believe in fulfillment.”
As people we are connected to desire for fulfillment. We have the opportunity to present it and, through hope, to make the reality.
My experience with hope
For 13 years I was a hopeless person. During my time that worked in a luxury hotel as a reception agent at $ 11.42 per hour, I felt the sting of hopelessness the most.
The regret of the feeling that my time was stolen from me, stuck every time I entered. Eventually I decided to do something about it.
I gave myself permission to hope for something better. I started to establish paths to success and get the agency back by learning from self -help books and mentoring.
Because I took action for something that I wanted, I now feel more hope and joy than I ever felt hopeless. Hope has changed me.
Hope really improves your life
Wish thinking does not work and false hope is equally ineffective. Real hope, however, is directly bound by success in all areas of life.
Studies show that hopeful people tend to:
- Show better problem -solving skills
- Cultivate healthier relationships
- Retain stronger motivation to achieve goals
- Show better work ethic
- Have a positive view of life
These benefits can influence working life, family life, building habits, mental health, physical health and spiritual practice. Imagine how much better your life could be by applying real hope in all these areas.
How to develop the ability to hope
As the acclaimed the French writer Jean Giono The man who planted trees:
“There are also times in life that a person has to hurry to pursue hope of hope.”
If you are one of those times, there are ways here to hope to develop:
1. Dream again
To cultivate hope, you must believe it. Start by:
- Think about what you are passionate about, your values and what you want to achieve.

- Visualize Success: Use inspiring quotes, photos or tools such as dumbbells or cloths to remind you of your goals.
- Build a Resource Library: Collect books, E books or audio books about hope and success to inspire you.
An environment that promotes hope will keep you motivated, resilient and focused.
3. See the challenges
Do not avoid any challenges – it is no longer trust. Participating in challenging activities, such as strategic games, can improve your problem -solving skills and strengthen hope.
4. Binding on wisdom
Find wisdom of those who have reached what you strive for. Whether it concerns books, blogs or social media platforms, learn from their travels. Wisdom provides the basis for real, usable hope.

Thinking about victories from the past can feed your hope for the future. Ask yourself:
- What challenges have I already conquered?

By remembering those feelings of happiness, enlightenment or satisfaction, your brain will of course assume a more hopeful mindset.
