About This Quote

Whatever happens to you, once you have hope you will survive. There is a saying that goes like this: “If you don’t want something to happen, make it happen.” What we really mean is: “If you don’t want something to happen, make it happen for someone else.” The truth of the matter is that we need to be able to look beyond our own problems and think about the good things that might happen for someone else. When we do that, we can take steps to ensure that those good things happen as well. We can strive to create a better future for others as well as ourselves, and perhaps the future will be brighter for all of us as a result.
