Whether you're interesting in politics, whether you were eligible to vote in US elections, whether you wanted Mitt Romney or Barack Obama to win, now doesn't really matter because Barack Obama has won this one. This short post is not about political persuasion.
So, to put all those factors to one side and look simply at the words, I wanted to share a very small portion of Obama's victory speech from last night. It is just one sentence about hope. Whether you like him or not, I think that this is a very powerful statement and so true as to what hope really is.
Please allow this to inspire you.
"I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us, so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting."
A full transcript of the speech is available on the
The White House website.
