“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies”– Shawshank Redemption

The hardest part in one’s life is when we don’t seem to have confidence in ourselves about anything going on in our life. But the worst part of life is when we don’t seem to care about that fact anymore, when we stop thinking about this, convincing ourselves that there is no ray of hope regarding this matter. That’s when the dark phase starts for everyone but we keep on forgetting the fact that even though hope dies at some dark moments, it can always be rekindled. That’s the trick with hope. Every single living thing in this universe is constantly working to rekindle that lost hope! Why is it like that? Because that ‘s just how the universe works. Me, you, our family, our friends, neighbors, our pets & plants and all those strangers we encounter each single day are connected in a loop — thousands of loops that keep on reminding us the fact that we are there for each other to rekindle that lost hope.

Talking about hope reminds us about all the victorious moments in life and sometimes sad moments too. Our mind itself defines a memory as sad or happy and that’s how we’ll always remember it. Whatever it may be, it’s all decided by us, we can either live with all the sadness that comes with losing hope or we can live the taste of victory we fought for.

Yes! To choose to live with hope is the battle of victory we fight with ourselves & at last, we have won! So, in this month of hope, let us rekindle our lost hope. Hope always gives us a second chance in everything.

Maybe, April is called the month of second chances for a reason!
