Sometimes hope shows up disguised as a tiny yes. A yes to try. A yes to show up. A yes to believe that maybe, just maybe, things could shift.

I think of my friend who’d been sitting on her business idea for years. She didn’t launch the whole thing at once. She didn’t overhaul her life. She simply said yes to taking one small step: joining a local workshop. That single action opened a door… which led to a conversation… which led to a collaboration… which led to her first paying client.

She was willing to put in the effort, and put herself in the position to take the next step and then the next one after that. 

Hope didn’t arrive for her as fireworks or a big change all at once. It arrived as a whisper and an opportunity. A nudge.A small yes.

If you’re waiting for a big sign, here’s your reminder: big things are built from a series of tiny affirmations. Hope grows every time you choose to move one step forward.

What’s one small yes you can give yourself today?
