Norman Vincent Peale often talked about the important role hope plays as part of his “positive thinking” process. Peale taught us that it’s far easier to be hopeful when you embody these characteristics:
- Determination
- Expectation
- Renewal
- Belief
- Enthusiasm
- Persistence
- Vision
- Faith
How would you apply each of those ideas to the hope you have for your career or company? Simply allowing yourself to consider each one of them provides confidence and hope by its very nature!
