Hope

Hope is the emotional state which promotes the belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life.

Other definitions are "to cherish a desire with anticipation"; "to desire with expectation of obtainment"; or "to expect with confidence". In the English language the word can be used as either a noun or a verb, although hope as a concept has a similar meaning in either use.
