It takes courage to hope. To have courage is to be vulnerable and to trust. Hope is being vulnerable and trusting that things will work out for the best. It is opening yourself up to the possibility of happiness, even when there is no guarantee. It is taking a leap of faith.

When we have hope, we are not afraid to fail. We are not afraid to be rejected. We are not afraid to put ourselves out there. We are not afraid to take risks. We are not afraid to be vulnerable.

When we have hope, we are not afraid to hope for the best.
