HOPE Placebo

Hope is very expensive if you don't give any at all. It will cost you dearly. 

 

In actual fact it costs you nothing, it is an attitude of mind. To be instilled and given out freely. You could give out large amounts but then people get unrealistic expectations because their hopes have been raised too much. It is best given out in small doses, they tend to stay with someone and can do wonders. 

 

The mind is a very powerful part of us that can perform amazing things. Ever heard of a placebo? It's usually a tablet that physically will do nothing for a patient. The strange thing is that they can work and make people feel better. I suspect that the key ingredient in any placebo is hope.

Here is an interesting article on 'Psych Central – Mental health & psychology information and support'.
