The cycle of hope is always a choice. I am reminded of former 1st Lady Eleanor Roosevelt as she stated… "I am today, a result of the choices I made yesterday.” To hope is always a choice established in the four core beliefs of the hope cycle which are:

1. The future will be better than the present. (Je.29:11-13)

2. I have the power to make it so (Luke 10:19).

3. There are many paths to my goals (Psalm 109:105).

4. None of them is free of obstacles (John 16:33).

We defined a cycle as a period of time or a complete set of actions or events that repeat. A process that returns to its beginning and then repeats itself in the same manner.

Therefore, the cycle of hope says to us, in Philippians 2:5, "Let this mind be in you which is also in Christ Jesus.” In other words, Paul is saying to think like Christ thinks or let the thoughts of Christ be in you.

A person with high hope has thoughts that are positive and embodies the principle of Mark 10:27, "all things are possible."  It is in the light of this truth that helps us to help others to find and discover that no matter how hopeless things may seem, hope always finds a way.
