Hope. There is an old saying: “Where there is life, there is hope!” Our world today presents many challenges and the communication systems today make us all too aware of what is happening, where it is taking place, and how terrible some of the news is for all of us.

There is almost too much information and this, when combined with the challenges we all face day to day, can create a heavy burden for some of us. I firmly believe that all of us have to step back and focus on what is near and dear to us and ensure that what we do creates hope for ourselves and our communities.

The power of this combined hope can be phenomenal and create results that will move us forward. So this week as we come back from a long weekend and the start of a new season let’s all create more hope and make a real difference.

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.” - Ayn Rand
