I like your thought process about this. We all have to come to it our own way.

My definition of hope would differ slightly.

"Hope springs eternal" don't know where that comes from but it's true.

Without hope there is nothing. Your hopes may change through this and you may end up somewhere that you didn't originally hope for...

But it started with HOPE.

The rope to me is not hope it is EXPECTATION. Expectation is created by the mind ....

that is a WANT.<<<<<depends on some outcome or someone else.

Hope is created in the heart and the soul of you. That is the WILL. The will to do it. The possibility it can be done.

Hope cannot be false because you created it from your own truth.

That is just how I see it. You have to define it for yourself.

You are doing good my friend. Keep moving forward.

My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
