a)3 ELEMENTS OF HOPE: Hope is the state of mind that believes and desires a positive outcome to situations in your life. It is the feeling that things will turn out for the best. It is consistently looking forward to that positive outcome to something planned in our life. Hope is going through life expecting with confidence that everything is going to be OK. Hope is cultivated when we have a goal in mind and are determined to achieve that goal because of the plans we have in place. It’s not a fantasy but something that has been thought out and planned. The first element of hope is the affirmation that the future is positive and good. For some, this is a difficult aspect of hope. Due to the loss of loved ones to death or estrangement, the future doesn't look bright. For others, the irremediable consequences of past choices or bad experiences make the future seem gloom. Yet, when we get outside of ourselves and find someone else who needs us and when we recognize how precious life is, hope returns. If there are those who do not value us, there are those who do, or who will, or who can. If we give ourselves to others, they will reciprocate with a gift of their love and companionship. The second element of hope is the confidence that change will make a difference.Hope demands change, expects change and at the same time makes change inevitable. With health concerns, hope gives us the willingness to endure short-term discomfort or depravation in order to achieve long-term gains. The third element of hope is that my actions can make a difference. Futility is the belief that no matter what we do, it will not make a difference. In the face of futility, we give up. Hope dashes the power of the sense of inevitability. Hope declares that nothing is inevitable until after it happens and that until that time, our efforts can make a difference. In health concerns, this element of hope gives us the courage and the determination to stop overeating, to begin exercising, to ask questions, to start a treatment program and/or to change other habits which are damaging our bodies.
