Is it faith? Is it intellectual belief? Is it external(family, friends, etc.)? How does hope affect your life, particularly in the absence of other reinforcement?

My hope that this life isn't all there is. My faith in God and the redeeming work of Jesus Christ in my life. My love for my family and friends.
It makes each new day worth getting up for, and it makes me want to continually grow and become a better person, and to have a positive impact on those around me.

I hope in time I accept completely that nothing here has meaning or importance and that I see through the illusion of life. I hope that armed with such a view of the world I'll be less likely to be judgmental even against people that are profoundly evil. I hope that such understanding sharpens my spirit that I can show love in even the most difficult of circumstances and finally I hope that I require less understanding and validation to be at ease on my path. Each spiritual path is an inner path so external validation is as deceptive as external intolerance. I hope to see in person what I dare not imagine in life. I don't know exactly what existence is before or after life, I don't know what people mean by heaven or rewards, in fact I don't care if any of that exist in the long run. I hope to be self motivated by my spirit to walk selflessly among humanity. That is my strongest hope.

hmmm
The hope that sustains me is faith. Hope really is the only thing that keeps me sane. I mean if I start looking at the world for what it really is, it's SO depressing. I love that song "Waiting On The World to Change" one day i'll be old enough to lead, but until then, I have to hope that there isn't too much screwed up by then, because I have no control over it right now.

My faith sustains me, but I also believe in using the intellect that I have to make good decisions. When I was young, I was sometimes self-destructive and I am grateful that I am able to make better choices today.

No, we could desire to constantly not, by using fact there isn't one. faith ability an unjustified concept. there is not any element in hoping for some thing it somewhat is obviously not likely to ensue. plenty greater valuable to settle for and have fun the international as that's.

That I am learning the lessons that I came here to learn. That I am enjoying every moment on this beautiful place called Earth. That I am growing closer to God, and will soon be able to be with God and not have to come back here, even though I do love life, it does not compare to being in the Light. That our children will be smarter than we were, but I doubt it. Being smart is hard.

Faith in Jesus and His redeeming work on the cross. It is the focal point of my life and sustains me in the good times and bad

I used to hope that life would get better.
Since I met my husband my life has improved and greatly and I am content with what I have. I dont hope for anything to sustain me now.
I just hope my friends and family will sustain me should he die before me.

The faith and understanding that there continues to be purpose in all I do and that I am having a positive impact on those around me. May sound stupid, but it's enough for me.

It is not hope that sustains me... it is reality. I have so much and I am always greateful for it. I do not hope, I try to be mindful of each an every day, and enjoy it, try to remember it.
