One Soul, Lots of Spirit #1

"Hope is the Thing With Feathers" by EMILY DICKINSON

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

I always enjoy reading poems and quotes from famous writers and poets because a good writer is like a great politician. They'll know how to connect with their audience; without contaminating their work with fake intentions. I'm no writer and I barely enjoy reading, but I do have favorite authors and poets such as Emily Dickinson. She knows what she's talking about. She's been through so much in her life and seen so many close friends and family pass away before her."It seemed to me I should die too if I could not be permitted to watch over her or even look at her face anymore." It amazes me that such a depressed woman can write such uplifting messages. It goes to show that anyone can find peace within themselves if they look hard enough and learn to cooperate with their soul. Instead of giving up and losing spirit.

We can all learn from Emily Dickinson to never give up on hope because it's not something you can leave behind or stop. Hope is something that carries us in life and teaches us great lessons such as failure and not always getting what we want. But it's absolutely necessary to HOPE because it tames our soul to make us all stronger; to aim for something that requires such reach, inevitably makes us all stronger individuals with unbreakable spirits. Hope gives us more than anyone may realize, it is a natural stimulant. If someone stops hoping then the consequences are more drastic than simply failing at something. You are dying if you are not hoping; wasting away your life and making yourself sick thinking about all the things that should have happened.

I always remind myself when my vision doesn't come true, that I'm living my life for myself and if I'm not satisfied then I'm absolutely going to try again and hope for the best. And if that doesn't work then just remember that as long as you tried your best, then that should be enough to make you satisfied. It's finding satisfaction that makes life worth living. And hope is the part that helps you figure out what truly satisfies you in life. TRY IT TODAY FOR FREE!
