Goodness and Hope

Posted byJaynePosted inJayne.pressTags:, , , , , ,

“Hope is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success, but, rather, an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.” –Václav Havel

Hope can be a dangerous thing, but this quote I can relate to. It reminds me of the Baby-Sitters Club. They often did things for their community out of the goodness of their hearts. It feels so hard to do those things today. Everything feels less safe, and people are less trustworthy. This quote gives me better perspective when it comes to all of my work because it allows me to focus on the goodness factor. I think life is better when you focus on the good.

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
