Words of Wisdom

‘Hope is a practice, an act you can do even as you mourn, or regret, or dread. Hope is an act of trust, regardless of what the future may hold…Hope is not wishing but acting. Birthing. Planting. Getting up.’

Steve Garnaas-Holmes

‘May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.’ 

Nelson Mandela

‘Critical thinking without hope is cynicism. Hope without critical thinking is naïveté.’

Maria Popova

Questions for Reflection 

• If hope could speak, what do you think it would most want to say to you right now?

• What is your cynicism protecting you from?
