Hope

I spent a week depressed and self-conscious, thinking it would never end. The more I thought about it, the worse it got. Finally, a solution dawned on me. I made a very slight shift in my meditation technique, shifting my awareness to my breath. Suddenly, I felt better. Are you discouraged about something? Perhaps you have a project that won't seem to work out or a mood that you can't shake or a persistent worry that won't go away. Have hope. The answer is right around the corner.

"If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream." -Martin Luther King
