I was speaking with a mentor of mine a few weeks ago about something I’ve struggled with for years: my pessimism. Negativity (and the sarcasm that tends to follow) has been a hallmark of my personality, however unwanted, for as long as I can remember. In digging deeper, one thing we discovered is that I have a fraught relationship with hope.
For some reason, the idea of hope has always rubbed me the wrong way. When I hear the word, I instinctively conjure up images of someone wishing something will happen, but doing nothing about it. It has always felt very passive, and that’s definitely not the way I operate.
On that note, I wanted to share what I’ve learned about hope since, and how it is helping me stare down the mountain of work there is for us to achieve a more circular and sustainable future.
