HOPE

Level: Medium

Hope needs to come from yourself.  If this isn't possible it can still be hope but it runs the risk of being the terror of false hope.

Hope can be such a strong, supporting, positive force yet know that it's an internal thing reinforced with the external projections of reality.

Your hopes must be nourished, developed gradually and based on logic to have strength of belief, positive energy on your side.  For instance after working for years for your employer and fulfilling all their requirements for promotion hoping for one is a valid hope.  While hoping for a six figure payout on a one-armed bandit even after investing a C-Note on that machine is false hope.
