“Hope alone cannot create outcomes
but having hope affects outcomes.
Proceeding with hope
makes more things possible,
may just be what gets you up and out the door,
making anything possible at all.

But hope is an illusion, no?
Yes, my love,
but no more than fear and worry.
They are all illusions because they are all about the future,
and we cannot know the future.

But ...
hope is an illusion that opens us up, inspires joy,
reminds us of possibility,
gets us through trial and tribulation more easily
(like singing in the rhythm of a labor-intensive task
makes it easier to keep on going).
Hope
leads us to more, better, greater things--
maybe not the ideal, the fantasy, even the very thing you hope for--
but more, better, greater
than would otherwise be.”
― Shellen Lubin
