What should be the place for 'Hope' in our life

By Intimate Viewpoint 

 Hope is a very meaningful and effective word. This word has the power to bring changes in one's life. Where there is no hope, life can't exist there.

But sometimes this powerful word makes us weak also. Hope makes life beautiful and helps to lead it forward. Without hope, there is no meaning in life. But despite all these, what place should there be for hope in our life? We all should keep hope in life but keeping hope is not enough, we should keep continuing our work also. If anyone does his job well he has the right to keep hope.

Keep continuing your duty but don't hope for a result

This statement is not mine, it is said in the holy book 'Geeta'. "Always do focus on your performance but don't hope for its result". Lord Krishna said in 'Geeta' that doing work is a human's responsibility but the result depends on me (God). So we should focus on our duty and should try to complete it perfectly. If we do so, our result will be definitely positive.

But often what do we do? 

We always hope for a good result without performing our job properly, we always wish our life would be easy and beautiful without doing nothing or if we do a little struggle afterward we wait for a very good result.

That means we hope more than working.

The disadvantage of 'Hope' in human life

Sometimes the hope makes us weak because hoping for anything makes us inactive. When we finish a work we hope for the result, in this duration we stop working and become inactive but according to the rule, we should keep continuing our work one after another and should keep active ourselves always. The experts always say to do focus on performance not on the result.

Such things also can be seen in the weak students. They don't believe in studies for the whole year but they expect surely a good result. They pray to God for that but those students who strive in studies, don't care for a result because such students have a belief in their hard work. So they do not hope for results.

The advantages of 'Hope' in human life

If we take the true meaning of hope then it is very essential for our life. We should always keep optimistic thinking. The meaning of optimistic thinking is having thinking which is full of hope. And there is no place for despair. Such thinking always leads our lives forward easily and provides a new strength always. We should initiate anything with optimistic thinking. There is always a place that should be in our life but we should not remain sitting with hope. The lamp of hope should always be kept light in life. But we should not make ourselves weak by hoping for anything. Maybe the thing we could not achieve for what we have been keeping hope. 

Hope makes our life beautiful this is true but when? 

When we hope for our lives, not for our performance.

The 'Hope' makes our performance imperfect

 When we start to misinterpret hope, our performance becomes imperfect because we do focus on results instead of our performance. Therefore there are few changes need in our thinking and we should keep hope in a corner of life, not the whole life should depend on hope. 

we should always hope that the difficulties will be remove one day from our life but we should not hope that the difficulties will be removed automatically from our life.

So keeping hope is not wrong but keeping wrong hope is wrong.
