In a room
there were four candles burning. The ambiance was so soft you could hear them
talking.
The first one
said, “I am PEACE, however nobody can keep me lit. I believe I will go out.”
It’s flame
rapidly diminishes and goes out completely.
The second one
says, “I am FAITH. Most of all I am no longer indispensable, so it does not make
any sense that I stay lit any longer.”
When it
finished talking a breeze softly blew on it putting it out.
Sadly, the
third candle spoke in its turn. “I am LOVE. I have not gotten the strength to stay lit. People put me
aside and don’t understand my importance. They even forget to love those who
are nearest to them.” And waiting no longer it goes out.
Suddenly a child
entered the room and saw three candles not burning. “Why are you not burning
you are supposed to stay lit till the end.”
Saying this
the child began to cry. Then the fourth candle said, “Don’t be afraid, while I
am still burning we can re-light the other candles, I am HOPE.”
With shining
eyes, the child took the candle of Hope and lit the other candles.
The flame of Hope should never go out from our life and that
each of us can maintain HOPE, FAITH, PEACE and LOVE.

Hope never abandons you. You abandon hope. Consult not your
fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but
about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and
failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.
