HOPE

Hope - to expect and/or wish.

To expect and wish for something indicates the anticipation of something that has not yet taken place. Because the mind has the power of creating what it envisions, it is often said "be careful of what you wish for."

If/when in a state other than Peace, what you expect and/or wish for will mirror your state of mind. The word mind is emphasized here because Peace is a state of BEing and in order to experience Peace, you must be fully present in the moment and not lost in your mind/thoughts. 

When trapped in the mind, distracted by thoughts of worry, fear, etc., the Now becomes a missed opportunity for Peace because it can only be experienced in the Now (the present moment.) 

When fully engaged in the present moment, the state of Peace is free all of needs/wants because Peace is the absence of mental stress or anxiety. It is only in this state that Love and Joy are then recognized and welcomed. 

Choose to stay in the moment and live in Peace and you'll soon find when you're in a state absent of needs/wants, there is no better place to be! Peace
