Hope When it's Hopeless Ep40

STLHope #STLTogether

Hope is only lost when you stop looking for it.

In these desperate times it's vital to our success as business owners or aspiring business owners to maintain hope for a better tomorrow both for their business, their community and for the world.

If you take a look at the situation in Ferguson, MO with the number of businesses that were vandalized, and burned to the ground it could be difficult to have hope these small businesses would ever want to come back and rebuild.  Hope.

Hope that together we can rebuild a stronger community.  Hope that together we can heal a community by supporting those local businesses.  Hope that because of the attention this situation received that relations between the police and the entire community they serve will improve.

It's easy to be disappointed in the outcomes of situations like this but it's even more difficult to be grateful despite the situation.  Being grateful can assist you with maintaining hope that this situation will improve and that with effort and a lot of hard work this community, this city and this country will become even stronger and better than it is right now.

Even in the wake of all this disaster we still have much to be thankful for and much to be hopeful for.
