\"\"<\/a>When Britain\u2019s legendary leader Winston Churchill was asked what his country\u2019s greatest weapon had been against the Nazi regime of Hitler during World War II, he didn\u2019t hesitate for a moment.\u00a0 He promptly replied, \u201cIt was what England\u2019s greatest weapon has always been \u2013 hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hope is one of the most energizing and powerful words in the English language.\u00a0 It took England through many dark times during World War II and provides us all the power to keep on going during the most difficult of times.\u00a0 That power fuels us with excitement and anticipation as we move forward when before we may have been flat.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been said that a person can live forty days without food, even four days without water, and four minutes without air, but only four seconds without hope.\u00a0 Rebellion and crime are often started when people lose hope.<\/p>\n

Remember some time in your life when somebody or something gave you hope? \u00a0How did it feel?\u00a0 Did it energize you?\u00a0 Well, there is no reason why you can\u2019t be that messenger of hope dozens of times a day with just a kind word of encourage or a compliment – creating an opening of possibility.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter what role you are playing, co-worker, parent, friend, teacher, supervisor, team member, son, daughter, brother, sister, neighbor, etc., you always<\/em> have an opportunity to leverage hope.\u00a0 You can do nothing, which can be just as bad as negative energy, but what if you can offer your positive vibe of hope, who knows how far it will fly?<\/p>\n

Start a hope epidemic and your innocent infusion may circle the globe and last for years \u2013 you never know.<\/p>\n

Be the bringer of HOPE to those in your life today and see what happens!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
