You can lose your loved ones, but never lose hope. You can lose all your businesses and all your assets, however never lose hope. Hope is all we have. Your loved ones will turn against you, opportunities will slip through your hands, but never lose the hope that you still have; because when you have hope, you have everything.

When people insult you and call you a failure, just hold onto your hope, because if you lose hope it means you have stopped dreaming. A life without dreams has no value, when you stop dreaming you stop living. By staying hopeful, Nelson Mandela came out of jail and became the first black president of South Africa.

Hope gives us strength and it allows us to stay focused. Believe in yourself, stay positive and always put God first. Remember; it is never too late and there is no dream that is too big, there is a reason why you are still alive, God still has a plan for your life.

By giving up your dreams you are not only destroying your life, but also the lives of those who look up to you. Just because we have never met someone who has said they look up to us, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Yes, we might be killing the only hope they had, that is why it is very dangerous to give up in life. It might be your life, but you must always remember that there will always be people who are inspired by who you are; inspired by the same character you want to destroy.

If you commit suicide people who look up to you will die with you spiritually. Nothing is more painful than seeing the one you look up to giving up on life because you know that if they cannot stand up for life challenges it might mean the end of your dreams too. When you work hard and approach each day with a positive attitude, those who look up to you will work twice as hard.

Never accept defeat even when there seems to be no hope for your life. You must never allow the situation you are in to put you down and determine your future. Whatever life throws at us, we must always fight back, we must always stand firm and strive for greatness. Always work hard and never lose hope in what you believe in.
