Isha Koppikar gets philosophical.

'Once u choose hope anything's possible... good morning You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one -- John Lennon.

Anne Lamott writes: 'Hope begins in the darkness, the stubborn hope that if you just show up, and try to do the right thing, the dawn will arrive.'

'Hope always whispers to the psyche, "Try one more time".'

'Hope provides the gift of faith. It instills the will to believe, motivates a person to read sacred texts, to engage in prayer and meditation, to contemplate the mysteries of life and find answers.'

'Hope reminds us to live a moral life -- to be compassionate and kind.'

'Hope is a spiritual practise that enables us to feel "spiritual", enabling us to experience awe, wonder, delight.'

'With hope, we are able to transcend the self, observe the beauty in nature, live in peace, be respectful to others, live mindfully, and believe in the unknown, the ineffable.'

'Hope is an essential ingredient of optimism, which teaches us to "dwell on the best possibilities" in a dire situation.'

'Hope as a spiritual practise is a remedy for hopelessness, existentialism, nihilism.'
