Change and Challenge

Well, I've been reflecting a bit, and I see the uses of hope. Hope is the reality waiting to be created. I’ve been a little depressed a few days ago but now I feel a new impulse driven by challenge. The challenge: I’m going to study a Master in Information Technology! Yes, I will apply next week to the University of Queensland in Australia. The decision is made and my next 2-3 years of my life will be hard and away from home. Rough times are coming, but I’m sure I’ll be blessed and my path will be illuminated.

And more about hope:

“Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.” ~ Vaclav Havel

Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense regardless of how it turns out. ~ Vaclav Havel
