H= Having life goals that you strive for

O= Owning the thought that you are in control of your life and that you can define your own happiness

P= Putting an emphasis on the future. The past is memory and makes you who you are, the future is yours to create.

E= Expectations that are realistic and yet stretching. I think sometimes we can expect too much or even not enough. Getting the   balance is important in finding the happiness that we desire.

Again I throw it open…what do you think? What would you H.O.P.E acronym stand for?
