Hope is the thing we need to pick up on<br />
in moments when life feels bad. The<br />
research seems to suggest that hopeful<br />
people believe four things:<br />
• The future is better<br />
• That you and I have a contribution to<br />
make to bring about that better future<br />
• There are loads of ways of getting there<br />
• All these ways involve frustration,<br />
difficulty and effort in some way<br />
That makes hope different from optimism.<br />
