How can I create hope? A thread. 🌻
Hope is very different than wishful thinking or wanting a situation to change yet feeling like you don't have control over the outcome.
You may be facing such a difficult situation that having hope for a specific outcome may feel like a far-off dream.
Buddhism teaches that to create hope from our current reality starts with making a determination. It starts with making a decision.
“We can do this by digging deeper within, searching for even a small glimmer of light, for the possibility of a way to begin to break through the impasse before us.” - Daisaku Ikeda
Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo each day is the process of “digging deeper” because we are bringing forth our Buddha nature, or limitless courage, wisdom, and compassion.
The realm of possibilities in a given situation is endless. Creating hope—deciding we will win—allows us to open our eyes to the many actions we can take to be victorious. 🏆
“If we cannot feel hope, it is time to create some.” - Daisaku Ikeda
