Until it Happens

At this modern day, it is so hard to believe into something until it actually happens. Probably because of the hurt of broken promises that we actually become scared of believing that they do come true; that we sometimes feel that being too hopeful would just lead to disappointment. It may be hard to believe but that is what we have to do. We have to have faith and trust. Things may not always happen as we expected. Promises may be broken at times. But these should not hinder us from believing and hoping that promises may still come true; and that our dreams may still happen. We have to continue to hope and believe yet not expect too much. When things happen as we hoped to be, let’s rejoice but if not, then believe there are better things to come or maybe it will just happen later. I learned that optimism is really helpful and that it’s the better option. Rough times are inevitable but we can do something on how we see and deal with things. And it should be in the positive way.

Its really good to be optimist when times are not going your way. Being positive would lead you the right way.
That is a good thing that you kept that in your mind. Happy mylotting

I agree that optimism is the way to go.
Bad times vs better times is like a raining day vs a sunny one.
If we didn't have rainy days, we may not then know to appreciate the sunny ones, or vise versa depending on personal preference.
Personally, I am an optimist and I prefer the sunny days as well.
Some times promises are merely mumbled words without much backing.
Yet when we find that promises are met that have been made we then know that that persons word is good and that they can be trusted to carry through.
Some peoples words simply have no merit. It is up to us to determine who is trustworthy and who is not so to avoid getting our hopes up only to be disappointed and hurt.
So not only optimism is best but so is having the sense to know the difference.

You have a point there lloyd. People are hurt too many times, they have expected too many times as well but we always end up being hurt and this is not good at all if we are basing our decisions to believe from our past experiences - people learn from mistakes and we tend to become less trustful of the people around us, of our friends, of the surroundings and of the circumstances. so for most of us, it is actually something we ought to be careful for - to get hurt again and to expect for nothing. that is pretty normal for people to pick up.

HI lloydbelleza,
My exact sentiments. I have been hurt and disappointed too much lately, as such I'm tired of promises which are broken by this special someone. As a result, I'm not hoping too much from him anymore. If he gives anything, it would be a bonus. If not, It's perfectly okay. Better things are on the way for me.
I guess, it is the way we handle our emotions. We just don't want to allow others to hurt or disappoint us anymore. Whatever it is, I always pray for the best!

We just hope for the best right? what is there if we don't get our mind into positive things? this life is really hard and we can only dream that life would be something we can say is easy but not.
I am also longing to get positive and good results from the documents I am longing to pass before I get my visa. For now I still need to wait and see what happens before we can get into the next step. But before we plan, we did pray to God about it because we cannot hold what is tomorrow, it is only God who knows. So if it is His will, let it be done. We are just doers of what He pleases in our life.

I am also an optimistic person and a lot of things haven't gone my way. Although disappointment do come after the things you hoped for failed to materialize. It hasn't stop me from moving on with my life and hoping for my other plans to succeed. What is important is "we keep moving forward." that is one of the quotes from Walt Disney.

I know all to well how the hurt feels, how false promises feel, I know how hard it is to find that your other half has been cheating on you for along time. Yes, it hurts it tears at your trust, it leaves scars in your heart. Yet, no matter how much we go through we still have that ray of hope, that sparkle that wants to glimmer in the light even just for a small moment in our life.
What this all means to me is, Cherish the moments of those fun times with people, with family, with children. Never loose hope, your smile brings warmth to those around you, that to me is enough to keep going. I do have days I wonder, still at the end of those thoughts is still that small ray of hope, dreams, and the possibility is still there. It isn't always as easy as it is to type out here. Thing is at the end of the day, we still dream, and then the sun comes up for another day of hope.
