Hope—belief that the future can be better—motivates Brazilian effort. People work toward imagined better futures, for themselves and especially for their children. This aspirational motivation sustains effort through present difficulty because it connects today’s work to tomorrow’s possibility. Help people maintain vision of what their effort is building toward.
Connect current work to future opportunity. Support aspirations for children and family advancement. When hope fades, motivation declines; when hope is supported, motivation strengthens. Religious hope contributes here too—faith that God rewards effort, that prayers are answered, that the future is in good hands. Aspiration requires imagination; help people envision the better futures their effort can create.
