Where the Wild Hope Grows: A Narrative of Personal Growth

By Marissa Manzek

What if the hope you are searching for has been there all along? What if this hope can be discovered from within?

Along the journey of life I discovered hope within the wild. Consider your mind as a garden. As I enter the garden, I am commissioned with navigating the wild overgrown grounds. I am tasked with breaking ground, replanting myself, weathering the storms, uprooting weeds and in turn I will witness new growth. Shovel in hand, I am ready to dig in.

Each moment we must nurture our minds. We have the ability to tend to our minds and find new hope in the wild. Along the way, we must uproot our bad habits such as a poor relationship with social media or a poor outlook on challenging situations. This is hard work that takes years of replanting and weeding. There will be many storms in life, but these will result in new growth. Have your shovel in hand and get ready to tend to your garden.

As I am writing this, my words are just as much for you as they are for me. You have the tools to tend to various trials and my hope is for you to find where the wild hope grows. Read on to discover and be encouraged that you too have the capability for perseverance and growth no matter how many storms life brings. I will give you tangible actions you can follow and show you that there are new outlooks to be had. You have the ability to grow a flourishing garden and tend to it moment by moment.
