Day 100 of 100 days of hope
Day 100: Hope Lives in You Now
Today marks Day 100 of Hope—and what a journey it has been.
Showing up day after day to choose hope is no small thing. It’s quiet. It’s intentional. And it has the power to change how you see yourself, your life, and what’s possible.
One of the greatest lessons from these 100 days is this:
Hope is a practice.
Hope isn’t something someone else gives you.
It’s not dependent on circumstances improving first.
It’s something you choose—through the thoughts you think, the words you speak, and the actions you take each day.
When you practice hope, it becomes a kind of inner strength. A steady presence. A reminder that even when you can’t see the way forward, a way can still be made.
Nothing is ever truly stagnant.
Growth is happening—even when it’s hidden.
And miracles are always possible.
Questions That Strengthen Hope
As you reflect on this journey, consider asking yourself:
How can I generate more hope in my life right now?
What actions can I take today that will strengthen my belief?
Were there moments when I didn’t see a way—but one appeared anyway?
What am I grateful for that helps me feel hopeful?
These questions gently turn your attention toward possibility and progress—often revealing how much more resilient and capable you already are.
Building the Hope Muscle
Hope grows when belief is paired with action. Even small actions matter.
Here are three simple ways to continue strengthening your hope muscle:
1. Reflect on What You Want to Create
Give yourself space to notice what you truly hope for. Clarity creates direction.
2. Take Ownership of Your Choices
Choose wisely. Take action aligned with what you believe is possible—even if it’s just one small step.
3. Make Hope an Ongoing Practice
Hope isn’t only for easy seasons. It’s often most powerful during the hard ones.
These practices can carry you through uncertainty, transition, and change.
Why 100 Days of Hope?
The inspiration for this journey came from an unexpected place—an interview with Dwight Kurt Schrute III, where he said the world needed more hope.
That simple statement stayed with me.
Because it’s true.
We need hope for ourselves.
For our families.
For our marriages and children.
For our communities.
Hope has carried me through times when I couldn’t see the outcome. And looking back, I can see that miracles happened—not always loudly, but faithfully.
The Truth at Day 100
Hope isn’t ending today.
It’s becoming something you own.
May you remember that more is happening for you than you can currently see—if you choose hope.
Hope lives in you now.
And that changes everything.
