Often when we think of hope, we think about it as a response to hardships or challenges that either we are facing or that we are seeing in the world around us. For example, we hope that no one got hurt in the car accident that we saw on the way to work. We hope that we do well on our final exams. We hope that war and hunger will end in our lifetime.
As a HOPE Trained Facilitator, I look at hope from multiple perspectives. As I engage with friends, family, and my community, I tap into The Four Building Blocks of HOPE in creative, fun, and accessible ways. By inserting HOPE into my life and the lives of those around me, I gently encourage, inspire, and support the positive that we all can find in everyday life.
Below is an example of a strengths-based way to apply the HOPE framework to a common life event—birthdays. On my birthday, I emailed this message to everyone on my mailing list as an expression of gratitude and hope for future generations.
