I know that all of us are suffering from hopelessness and discouragement. We are failing to grip on them because our life is in the worst situation that nobody cannot understand why should it happen.
For me hope is some kind of desire or yearning for something, in desperate way, whether it will come true, awaits still or never to exist. In the saying, try and try until you succeed!, which means you do your part and hope for the best until your aspirations will come to happen. Hope is always with us. It never leaves. It is just that we are the one who is losing it.
Hoping for something is very hard to do. Why? Because it needs time, patience and courage before you hoping for will come to reality. However, wrong hopeful is an erroneous hoping. Many of us today are hoping for wrong hopes such as hoping for failure of someday else that you making a chance to get him/her down, hope for death of someone, hoping for a huge wealth that sequent to greed, or all kinds of hoping for something or somebody that get others involve and become victims. Hope is used to raise other from being victim or leading other in righteous way by fulfilling a desire of having harmonious achievements sharing with others and be part of the success.
Courage in the other hand is to boost the hoping mechanism on each of us. Courage must be attached to us to fulfill our hopes. Remember that hoping needs courage to help us wait patiently. There are moments that somebody discourages us which resulting to despair or hopelessness. Others' support is needed to give us courage and hope.
PS
(Here is my advice, if you are hoping for something or someone with good aspiration ask it to God, because him alone is the right one to hope for and ask for courage as you await for the right time and the right condition when your hopes to come true.)
