Michael FlynnAny fool can hope when success lies plainly in view. It wants genuine strength to hope when matters are hopeless.
About This Quote
This quote is a great reminder to us all. We need to know how to cope when we are suffering and we need to take action when things are dire. We all want to be successful and we all want to be happy. But, we cannot hope for something that we do not believe is possible.
If we believe that we will fail and if we believe that our suffering will last forever, then we should not hope for success or happiness. No, instead we should hope for suffering and suffering alone – suffering that leads to suffering – suffering that leads to suffering – suffering that leads to suffering – suffering that leads to suffering – suffering that leads to suffering – suffering that leads to suffering – suffering that leads to suffering – suffering... Suffering can help us grow as people and as individuals, but it can also make us bitter and hateful.
