Hope is a beacon and expectation that tomorrow and the future have bright outlooks. Hope is as infectious as negativity. Nelson Mandela was jailed in South Africa for 27 years, yet had hope and optimism that one day he would be free. There are many other historical figures who have embodied hope, such as Bishop Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, and Mother Teresa. The world is not as dark and dreary as we see on television or see in the news. There is a brighter future, and the future is in teaching our kids how to set goals, develop plans, and move toward positive energies.
