Need a Little Hope?

The Gallup organization conducted a formal study from 2005-2008 to explore why people follow. The random sampling of 10,000 followers focused on responses to the following questions:
  1. What leader has the most positive influence in your daily life?
  2. Now, please list three words that best describe what this person contributes to your life.
In some cases, more than 1,000 people listed the exact same word in response to question #2. Given that there are more than 170,000 words in the English language, these findings were impressive. It seemed that followers have a very clear picture of what they want and need from the most influential leaders in their lives:
  • Trust
  • Compassion
  • Stability
  • Hope
In my lifetime, I have never seen our country in more need of hope than today. In that regard, I’m hopeful that you will send the following Little Page of Hope to those friends, family members, and business associates who are in need of a little dose of hope. Additionally, hope the attached wallpaper and video clip will inspire you and others to not quit before the blessing.

The Little Page of Hope
Hope is the ability to hear the melody of the future.
Faith is the courage to dance to it today.

Doubt sees the obstacles, Faith sees the way.
Doubt sees the dark of night, Faith sees the day.
Doubt dreads to take a step, Faith soars on high.
Doubt questions, "Who believes?" Faith answers "I!"


"And yet, when I look up to the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more." – Anne Frank

Happiness Formula: "Count five blessings before you earn the right to one worry."

"Worry is crabgrass of the soul."
