Hope depends on three factors: 1. Pathway thinking: Can you see at least one path to where you want to go? 2. Agency thinking: Can you picture yourself walking those paths? 3. Goal thinking: Do you have a goal that is really your own? In this time of COVID-19, we all need to find new pathways, as old ones are blocked.
