@Tinywhisper11 thank you 💕 I agree but what inspired this question was, sometimes you want something so bad, you pray for it, you manifest it, and it doesn't work out, so you try again and still the same results, so you are let down so many times, for many, you end of being afraid to hope because even letting in that slimmer of hope, can break you if it diesnt materialise? So I guess, what's the message you would give to people who hold onto hope but feel like it alludes them?

@Amanda84 if your afraid to hope afraid to try, then what's left??

There was a man who never tried,

Never played, never cried,

He never sang, he never prayed,

And on the day he died,

His life insurance was declined,

Cause if he never really lived,

Then he never really died

Heyyy Amanda💘I hope you have been keeping well! To your question, I would tell you something pretty heart ❤️ that Hope isn't about keeping it intact until it aligns with our expectations and manifestations! Hope is finding faith even when it doesn't align with what we expect! 

Every situation in life needs to be taken by detaching ourselves from the outcomes! It's about embracing uncertainty even when we don't know where things would go! It's about holding faith even when the it's so difficult to trust! 

Life is pretty and easy! It's to be lived in the present because this is what we have! Manifestations are absolutely amazing but even when they don't turn out your way, hold faith dear, because when things don't go our way, they go by the Universe's plans which are always the best for us!

@resilience2025 hope is keeping faith even when it doesn't align with what we expect, I love that and am writing it down as a daily reminder. Thank you, you have a beautiful way of explaining things and it is much appreciated 🥰

In my experience, when walls block my dream, when I look back that wouldn't have necessarily been the best path for me anyway. Our culture pushes dreams related to money and fame, but when you look at the lives of people who are rich and famous, they often lose a lot in some way.

There's also a lot of "magical thinking," for a lot of us. "When x happens, I'll have my happy ending and everything will be ok." But real happiness comes from being grateful for what we have now, and satisfaction comes from learning and growing wherever we are.

Hope just for hope's sake is empty.

I do not think people should give up on hope........... but I do think some should not pin everything on that hope.  Hope is a positive if you see to make things happen you have to actually do things....... not just hope or manifest.

@toughTiger6481 you have made an important distinction for me here, retain hope but don't pin everything on it. Thanks 🥰

I think we are more afraid of high expectations that come with hope. Hope is basic. It's survival. Necessity. However the expectations that come with it are heavier to handle. We fail most of times and think we lost hope. I think in any circumstances, a human never lose its hope because it's survival. Even if *TW* people who tried committing, at the moment they also tried to save themselves. So i don't think so we ever do lose hope. If we have compromisable expectations with ourselves, life becomes wayy easier but that's not human nature. Lol sorry for yapping..

Sometimes indeed 


We don't want to get hurt so we refrain Before hand 



But in the light of healing there's always hope and we should not hesitate to have hope

@Amanda84 Maybe it depends on the person and circumstances. I think sometimes we are afraid to hope, because hope represents the unknown. There is vulnerability and risk of being hurt in hope. When we push away hope, we stay in a comfort zone where we know exactly what to expect, even if it is pain. The enemy we know.

Hope baffled me for the longest time. When nothing works out, despite your best efforts, how can you have hope? It seems to go against logic itself.

The thing that gives me endless hope is time itself. Its existence guarantees change, and it also seems to guarantee difference. So even if things go wrong, the universe has a way of growing.

The problem then lies in whether you think things are changing for the best overall. I think we as humans have a long way to go, but I can definitely see people making an effort to create a better reality. 7 Cups itself is a shining example of the indomitable will of the human spirit.

You might have to dig deep, but I think you will always find that there is at least hope.
