Preview We must Hope to wake each day ready to work toward conquering small, simple tasks at first, tasks such as seeing ourselves not ready to give-up. Pick a challenge which we think we can handle. Show our spouses and our children a love that you never felt. These are tasks worth hoping for. These are tasks that can be fulfilled. And as we travel our journey of Hope, we may make it a little harder to manipulate with each waking day. Recognize and see a challenge in yourself that when accomplished you can feel a new inner strength rising up in your heart. This is Hope. God is showing me that not everything in my life was a tragedy. These happenings were meant to help me grow and mature in life. I turned everything I went through into an emotional attachment within my heart, my mind, and my soul. My imagination helped me see things as special places. Early on during my childhood, I was so naïve that I was unaware of so many things about life. The many elements that happened to me would give me gut instincts comprised of feeling whether they were bad or was good. So I end my spiritual journey with these words; always listen to the voice in your heart for it is your Heavenly Father guiding you to your home, a place where you will find peace. Mental illness cannot control you all your life. There is help and help is always available, you just need to seek it out. So l will end this part of my story with a boundless Hope that we can all share. Each morning I aspire to awaken to a special place deep inside my being. I thank God for each day I am given. I ask to be enabled to share through my story, honesty and truthfulness. Not all in my story is good. I have had bad times in my life and they have brought me into the dire straits of depression. Yet I want everyone with mental illness to know that we can share inside our being an auspicious celebration of our ideal for HOPE.
