Incredible India Monthly Contest of August#1:Hopeless end or Endless hope!

Life is a journey that is full of circumstances. Sometimes it will be interesting and sometimes bad. We all know that life is not always balanced all the time, but the way we reason and take it will determine how we will survive. Some people can see life as “Hopeless end,” while others wil see it as “Endless hope.” These two is really a strong words that shows different mindset. Let's go into this two...

“Hopeless end” is that point life which person is finally tired, and doesn't see the road or chance to move forward again. Its like when you hustle but all your effort to get rich is being wasted. You might ask yourself, “What really remains for me again?” For example, imagine that a student keeps trying to pass his exam every year but it's failure that keeps follow him. Or someone find a job but rejection letter full everywhere. That kind of feeling is really heavy and sad in the heart, it's makes a person to believe that life has shut door for him.

But “Endless hope” is the opposite. So, it is when you keep believing that your tomorrow will be better than today. Even if things are rough, you still hold small light inside your heart saying that one day it will shines brighter. It's also like a farmer that plant aseed, even though rain never fall yet, he still looks the sky with faith that rain water will soon comes. Endless hope can give a person strength to wake up every morning, even when his/ her yesterday wasn't interesting at all.

So if I want to interpret it, “Hopeless end” is when a person has surrender that nothing is possible and positive again, but “Endless hope” is when a person carry faith like a lantern, he'll walk inside the darkness believe that light is ahead.

However, If a person is inside “Hopeless end” mindset, it will surely affect everything. Your brain will be very heavy, you won't be able to think positive again. Even small opportunity that comes, you won't be able to see it because your mind is already blocked. Hopeless end can make a person to lose his/her confidence, and will make you feel that you dont have any value. It' is at this point that depression comes in and the person might even give up on life.

But if it's “Endless hope” that's is inside your mind, that's a clear different story. Your brain will be open to think positively, you will see possibility even inside problems. Truth be told hope do act like a medicine which calms our body and mind. It makes us more stronger and full of patient. For example, if you believe that one day you will get a better job, you will surely learn new skill, prepare yourself, and hustle with energy. Endless hope can push any body to be more creative, to try new things, even to smile when his pocket is dry. It's hope that makes a person to see tomorrow as chance, not as punishment.

So the influence is clear: hopeless end kills motivation, while endless hope will always give motivation. One can close door on your mind, the other will open the window for fresh air to enter.

To move from hopelessness to endless hope is not by performing magic, it is really possible. First thing is to have the mindset. Then you need to tell yourself that life doesn't end because of one failure. Truly It's really failure that helps to teach us many lesson, and it is that lesson that build our own strength. However, if you are really hopeless at any time, just try to remember all the good things that you have just achieved already. Even if just remembering things like a new skill which you just learned, or helping someone, use it to remind yourself that you still have value.

Another way is the environment. If you are hopeless, check the people that are around you. If it's people that always talks negatively, you will sink more deeper. But if you are around people that love encouraging you, your spirit and mindset will be strong. Because a good friend can change your life. Surround yourself with people that carries hope.

Also, action is very important. Hope won't grow if you just sit down and wait. You need to put little things into action. If you don't have a job try to learn new skill. If your business fail, try another idea. If you got a broken relationship, give yourself chance to heal and try again. It's those action that turn hopelessness to hope because when you move, you will surely see new possibility.

Lastly, faith can play big role. Faith in God do give endless hope. Even when things are not going well, our prayer can truly give a person the courage to continue. Whether it's faith in God or faith in yourself, you need something that will surely anchor your spirit.

So the interchange is like this: change your mindset, change your environment, take action, and hold onto faith. That's how hopelessness will begin to transform to endless hope.
