Hope is not an accident. Sometimes it has to be hunted, and hunting it takes courage.
Hope
hunters know how to excavate hope from hardship. There is dirt
underneath their fingernails and sweat on their shirts. They rake
through the rubble of an unwanted situation, digging into difficult
circumstances because they have come to expect that adversity will
produce good. They believe that light always triumphs over darkness.
They have learned to walk through winter with their eyes on spring.
Nika
Maples became a hope hunter after suffering a massive brainstem stroke
that left her quadriplegic in her twenties. Doctors warned that she had
as little as 48 hours to live, and-if she lived at all-she would never
walk or talk again. There was no hope on the horizon. So Nika started to
hunt for it. Today, she not only walks, but she speaks to audiences
everywhere about the power of hunting hope when a situation appears
hopeless. She says hope remains camouflaged in the daily mundane. If we
are not looking for it, we will miss it, though it is right before our
eyes.

Maybe it doesn't matter what
causes suffering in our lives as much as it matters what
suffering causes in our lives. Maybe we were
all meant to be hope hunters.
