Hope can be one of the most motivating factors in the universe. When combined with action hope creates aspiration. Actively working towards goals and gaining incremental achievements can provide rewards far beyond external compensation. Regardless of whether or not you ultimately achieve your goal the journey alone can provide insights into the depths of your character and personal growth to carry you through your next mission.
Hopes without action can be some of the most devastating forces in the universe. Idle hopes are distractions. Too many distractions can put us in a state of paralysis, stopping us from fully committing to and moving towards any goal. When we stop aspiring to achieve our potential we risk losing focus on who we really are.
I'm not saying that you should never hope for anything you cannot work towards achieving or that every second of the day you need to be working towards your aspirations. I am saying that if all you do is hope when you could actually do something you become a passive participant in your own life. Sometimes you just need to commit to a path and make that first step on your journey. Take action. Keep moving in your chosen direction until you reach your destination or an equally great place that you had no idea existed. If you're not willing to make that first step, then maybe it's time to move in a new direction. Just keep it moving.
