Discussion: Hope

Join our discord: https://discord.gg/sXmd8MRvmr

Hope is the belief that the future can hold something better, even in the face of uncertainty or hardship. It gives us the strength to keep going, the courage to imagine new possibilities, and the motivation to work toward change. Unlike blind optimism, hope often coexists with struggle—it doesn't deny difficulty but looks beyond it. Hope can be deeply personal or shared among communities, and it plays a powerful role in resilience, healing, and growth. In this discussion, we’ll explore what hope means to us, where we find it, and how it shapes the way we face life’s challenges.

1. How do you personally define hope, and how does it differ from optimism?
2. Can you share a time when hope helped you get through a difficult situation?
3. What gives you hope during times of uncertainty or challenge?
4. How does hope influence the choices you make in your daily life?
5. Do you think hope is something we’re born with, or something we learn to cultivate?
6. How do you maintain hope when progress feels slow or setbacks occur?
7. In what ways can other people’s hope affect your own outlook?
8. How does hope play a role in setting goals and imagining the future?
9. Are there times when hope can feel like a burden or create unrealistic expectations?
10. How can communities or groups create and sustain collective hope?
11. What small practices or habits help you reconnect with hope when you feel discouraged?

These are just some of the questions we will discuss during our meetup. No preparation needed, just bring yourself and a willingness to listen and share your thoughts.

The meetup will be structured in a way to promote small group discussion so everyone has a chance to listen, be heard, and really dive into the discussion.
