I hope so

Hope is:
1. a clear and specific goal
2. agency thinking.  Belief you have control over what you do, that your actions matter, and that you can impact the results in your life.
3. pathway thinking.  You see a path, have a path, or can create multiple paths from where you are now to your goal.*

    It’s a shift from wish-based optimism to reality-based hope.**
    Krista Tippett

    Erich Fromm^ labels hope the mood of faith –
    Faith takes issue with the present reality, foresees a different possibility, and
    takes responsibility for bringing it to birth, on the smallest of scales first of all,
    Each day, somewhere, for someone.

    What do you hope for?
