I will be off today and tomorrow. Today, I will talk freely about hope.
How to have hope
Sometimes, we want hope, especially when we guess the future will go bad.
However, we sometimes cannot. That often makes us want to live only for now, even though we know it is a lie to ourselves. We know our honest desire is hope, not disposing of or ignoring it. That is why we cannot be satisfied, even if we stop thinking about the future.
In such a case, focusing on how we can accurately foresee the future could be a way. This perspective might increase our hope.
The difficulty of prediction
We cannot predict the future exactly. Perhaps you know this if you are investing or focusing on your minds.
We often fail to predict even our mental or physical condition. We might experience unexpected things, such as being interested in new things, failure, having unexpected encounters, being pleased, or being depressed. Failing to predict the future caused all of them.
In other words, failing in prediction is natural. This awareness gives us calmness, safety, and hope.
Being aware of living in a changing environment
We are in a changing world. Everything changes.
It includes our states. When we are deeply depressed, we tend to think this depression continues forever. However, we often have joy with fortunate events a few years later.
In future predictions, the lowest state is usually the turning point. It can also apply to the span. The long plunge sometimes gives us a sharp soar, and vice versa.
That gives us humility in predicting the future. In other words, believing our future will go only good or bad is arrogant. There are no good or bad things as long as we have mental duality. From one aspect of our duality, it would be negative, but from the other one, it would be good.
Predicting and mental duality
That gives us hope because we understand we can adapt to the change. Even if we fail to predict, our mental duality allows us to accept it. Although it often confuses us, it also helps us.
In my case, I thought my move this month would make my life worse. I believed it. However, fortunately, it was wrong. That made me humble and gave me hope.
That was one of the lessons of this year.
Conclusion
That is why focusing on the predicting accuracy could help us when we want hope.
This perspective might increase our hope.
Anyway, this year was a great year for me. I was able to migrate to the peaceful countryside.
Although we don’t know what the future holds, we can go to the next stage.
Let’s step into the next year. Thank you for this year. Have a good new year!
Thank you for reading this article. I hope to see you in the next one.
