# Protect the Hope That Keeps Someone Alive by Bryant McGill > “In the darkest seasons of life, an anchor in the future can keep a person going: a vision of who they might become, even when nothing yet proves it. Other people may dismiss that vision as unrealistic, but a hope that is keeping someone alive deserves protection. If you are in that darkness, hold on to the vision and reach for people who will help you protect it.” > **— Bryant McGill**, *Anger, Self-Acceptance, and the Mind-Body Story of Change - Livestream (Aug 2015)* ## Sources and Context - **Source:** [[livestreams/Anger, Self-Acceptance, and the Mind-Body Story of Change - Livestream|Anger, Self-Acceptance, and the Mind-Body Story of Change - Livestream]] — exact quotation from the dated developed livestream document (2015-08-16). ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/simple reminders/Your Future Begins with Your Next Thought|Your Future Begins with Your Next Thought]] - **Livestream:** [[livestreams/Anger, Self-Acceptance, and the Mind-Body Story of Change - Livestream|Anger, Self-Acceptance, and the Mind-Body Story of Change - Livestream]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Hope|Hope]] ## Share on Social Media ``` “In the darkest seasons of life, an anchor in the future can keep a person going: a vision of who they might become, even when nothing yet proves it.
