A positive mind-set comes when we allow God to subtract despair and add hope. If we can allow God to let us hope we have something to look toward. When we live without hope we are empty and lost. We seem to ust wander around in circles and go nowhere. When we add hope things become brighter and we look at things and see light rather than darkness. We need to always put our trust in God and His wisdom and allow Him to be our hope and inspiration.
