Hope is not a strategy

It’s good to be hopeful, but it’s not enough on its own. You have to have a plan.

Hope is a good thing. But hope is not a strategy. It’s not an action plan. The “wait and see” method will not get you to where you want to go.

Don’t be passive when it comes to getting what you want. The world doesn’t care what you want. It’s not deliberately trying to keep you from your goals, but if you don’t aggressively pursue them to live your best life, you’ll end up working for someone else to help them live their best life.

Think to yourself, “if it’s to be, it’s up to me!” You are the hero of your journey and in order to get what you want, you will need to find ways to overcome the hardships that you will inevitably encounter.

Those who think, “if it’s meant to be, it will happen” are not taking responsibility for what happens in their life. Take ownership of every area of your life. Have a plan and then execute that plan. Always work to improve yourself and to help those around you. If you’re taking the right steps, you’ll get closer to your dream every day.

Hope is a good thing. It can keep us uplifted when times are tough. But hope is not a long-term strategy. It can’t be the sole thing that you rely on. Make sure you have an action plan to go along with hope and you’ll be on your way to a better life.
