triggering hope

once there was a war raging somewhere between two armies, one of the two armies was gaining ground and totally crushing the other army which was formed of a group of lightly armed people.

those people being less prepared compared to the others, started to loose hope day by day until they have reached a limit where they thought of everything as dark and that there is no way to win the war. a point where hope is at its ground level. the commanders of the smaller army started to think of what to do and they decided to a make small surprise attack on one of the other army's aircraft carriers , however they knew that destroying on of the dozen aircraft carriers would change nothing but what they were thinking is fighting to the last man concept.

on the next day the small mission was successful and the carrier sank in the sea, but then , something strange happened , all of the soldiers felt a tremendous amount of hope, they started to see that there may be some light in the middle of the darkness, they started to see everything as positive rather than negative. few days later the second carrier was sunk, followed by the third and fourth up to the last one, and within few weeks, the small army won the war.

what happened in here!!

what happened here? and how did a small act like destroying the first carrier have that effect on the people? . the answer is simple, its hope, when you trigger hope by any act even if its not that big you start to see everything from a different perspective, you start to rearrange your cards and you may end up a winner.

if have you have experienced some time of your life where everything was totally dark, where every thing seemed to be against you, know that its normal to find your self using the overgeneralization way of thinking and as a result you will be seeing everything as dark, at such a time know that you can turn the whole situation to your side by triggering hope even by a small act that you do.

what you need here is the mentality of a positive thinker, you just need to trigger it by any external event, this event may not be that effective but its main task is directing your mind from a state of no hope to a state of hope. this act can be anything that you can imagine, just think and think until you find any achievement that you could do in a limited time and which was not planned for before.

remember that choosing an activity that was not expected will be much more effective than an expected activity . as soon as you make this achievement you will find yourself looking at the opportunities within the difficulties rather that than looking at the difficulties within the opportunity,its all because you changed your way of thinking.
