Hope is a good quality to have, however, it’s not going to change your future. You need to concentrate on the elements you can control.
Your attitude is yours to control.

Of all the celestial bodies in the universe the Sun and Moon have the greatest impact on people. They are the superstars everybody notices.
Just remember, they are just two of the billions of celestial bodies that are in visible to the naked eye, the rest are waiting for the right light to show you how bright they can shine.
You may not be a superstar but that doesn’t mean your light will not be seen. You will be seen the special people who are looking for you.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
A heart will defend itself against pain by creating an impenetrable shield that’s invisible to the human eye.

If humanity as a whole ever embraces peace, it will signal the end of the human race.
Why, you may ask?
The answer is quite simple. War drives evolution. Without it, there’s no motivation to improve our current existence.
When I said war, I didn’t mean the ones with the guns, ships, huge battles, and nuclear bombs. I’m talking about the battles each individual is having with themselves. Such as.
The battle to find inner peace. The saying, everybody’s fighting a battle you know nothing about is true.
The people who look within themselves to find the answer will improve their life with the realisation of how little they actually need to enjoy life.
The people who look outside themselves are in danger of improving humanity.
They are the complainers, the conspiracy theorists, the people who fight against injustice wherever they find it, the people who blame everybody else for their problems, the people who correct other people’s mistakes, the anarchists, the people who want to acquire more wealth than they can spend. You get the idea. It’s the people who believe they can improve their world through other people’s actions.
Those are the people who drive humanity forward, not all of them. Of course, quite a few of them are genuine crackpots who are just looking for attention.
Many people have predicted the end of the world as we know it, however, they’ve always thought it would as a result of war, thankfully nobody has predicted it would be because everybody would find peace.
I’ll leave you with one final thought.
Humanity will not benefit from peace, but you, as an individual, certainly will.

The quote goes,” What you see in other people exists within you.” That implies that what you see in other people are the traits you possess. However, if you were to look at it from a different perspective, “what you look for in other people will one day be found within yourself,” that implies that your behaviour will change if you change what you’re looking for in other people.
In simple terms, if you look for only the good traits in other people, you will identify yourself as good. (Your opinion of yourself will improve, and as the opinion of yourself improves, your life will improve.)
If you only look for bad traits in other people, you will identify yourself as bad. (Your opinion of yourself will fall, and your life will follow suit.
I’ve mentioned above about changing what you’re looking for in other people, but think about this, what about changing who you’re looking at altogether. I read a snippet recently that makes sense. It went like this.
If you hang out with five intelligent people, you’ll be the sixth.
If you hang out with five lazy people, you’ll be the sixth.
If you have five friends who only tell you their problems, you’re only going to concentrate on problems.
If you hang out with five people who are always finding other people to blame for their problems, you will find somebody to blame for your problems too.
If you hang out with five fit people, you’ll be the sixth.
Can you recreate yourself?
“If you always do what you’ve always done, the answer to that question is a resounding NO, if you’re constantly looking at people who are changing their lives for the better, the answer is yes.
Is the behaviour you exhibit as an adult set in place, or is it in a constant state of change? The answer will tell you if you can recreate yourself.
