What makes us wake up every morning and not decide to give up and lay in bed all day? What makes us stand up, freshen up and get dressed for work? What makes us sit down in a cramped office cubicle, enduring vicious insults from a boss who should see a psychiatrist? What makes us muster up courage to start that business, and brave the odds to put maximum effort at creating a living out of it?
Hope. Hope, they say, springs eternal in the human breast, or something like that. Hope is the only thing that keeps us going, so you can say that someone who takes their own life has lost hope.
That person has given up on life, and does not see the possibility of their situation turning around. That's not you reading this post, because you decided to switch on that phone or laptop and head to read.cash, because you believe you can do something good with your time while here.
I never believed I could earn while doing something I loved: writing. Except of course, if I became a worldwide well-known bestselling author, or a big journalist working for one of the popular news agencies, and none of these things were in my bucket list of future careers.
But hope made me search the internet, and hope made me find read.cash. I am a medical student, and sometimes I find myself overwhelmed by the number of books I have to read, the volume of topics to be covered, and I feel like giving up.
Why do you think I'm still burning the midbight candle? Why do you think I'm still reading that Anatomy textbook when I should have dropped out ages ago?
Ding Ding! You're correct. Hope. I have hopes I'll one day become a splendid doctor. And that's what keeps me going, these hopes that have no guarantee, these hopes that are based on wishes that are a 50/50 possibility.
If you're looking for a reason to go on, envision that dream in your mind. It doesn't need to be a career like mine, or a dream to be on Forbes' list. You can start from something small, like a new Laptop to post your articles on read.cash better, or a new phone so you can play your favorite game.
Once you have something you really want in mind, work towards it. Keep hope alive that you'll one day attain that rank, you'll one day get that phone, and consciously make efforts towards it.
Remember: if you keep hope alive, you're keeping yourself alive as well.
I like your writing more and more.
