Hope or Fear

What is more important, fear or hope?

Hope is the rising sun of each day which casts away the shadow of burdens that had befallen us the day before. As hope rises the fear of what happened in the past is diminished in its power. Hope is a powerful gift everyone is given. It doesn’t take much to ignite it and when it reaches its full potential, it can make anything happen. I’m not saying hope is an easy thing to conquer but if you have the right qualities fear will never become a problem.
Fear is a dark omen that can traumatize you for life. It is a very powerful force and if you don’t take hold of the reigns in advance it can consume you into a darkness that will never let go. Many or all of us experience at least once in our lives how much of a struggle fear can be. It can bring you to tears or for others bring a smile on your face. It really depends on your character. Mostly, fear beings out the worst in people and exposes their weaknesses like open wounds so they are a much easier target.  
Even though fear is harsh and hard to break free from, hope is always there to guide you. The greatest thing about hope is that it never leaves your side. When we go through hard situations we think that our hope has been shattered into pieces but really if you pick up one of the pieces you’ll find it hasn’t betrayed you but it’s inside waiting for you to find where it’s hiding. When it seems that all is lost, hope will find you in the most unexpected way. Usually you find this faithful companion inside someone else, someone you truly love or who cares about you and they will help you to see that you matter and that you should be here even if it doesn’t seem so.
Everyone has personal goals, dreams, hopes and wishes but these things will not come true or even possibly close if you don’t believe in yourself and the power of hope. Hoping for something makes it a possibility of happening. If you hear a voice within you saying “You can’t, this is wrong, you’ll never succeed,” that’s your fear talking. You are just so afraid of what will happen and that the outcome won’t be good that you are scared to take a risk and fight back. If you hear this negative voice by all means go against what it says and follow your heart. Your heart is much more important than your mind. If you do so, this voice will be silenced because you will realize you’re right and that you are the one who should control your future, not your fear.
Hope is not something you can see, it is simply something you must feel. It’s an extraordinary feeling which never fails to keep your spirit alive. Hopefully you will stand up for yourself and what you believe in so your dreams will come true. The secret to finding what you need is not to only to scratch the surface, it won’t be enough. Dig deeper and you’ll find where hope truly lies.
