Your personal definition of hope.

Being able to look forward to something, ANYTHING, in the future, despite hardships, bleakness, sorrow, or pain that you are suffering today. The desire to keep breathing, to keep living, to keep pressing on. Knowing that someday things will change. (I could go on, but I think that does well enough.)

My personal definiton of hope would have to be God because without him there is no hope.
