As a conversation starter, what brings you optimism? What memory or hope keeps you going?

For me personally, my hope for the future mainly comes from my push to do and have better for my family and friends. I feel that even if things may seem bad at the time, that I, and others, can always work towards improving our circumstances. Even if it's difficult or seems bleak, I believe that the only way for a better tomorrow is to work towards it.

I am curious and interested to hear about others perspectives!
