Hope is not a strategy.
Hope gives way to many things. Hope may not be “strategy” but it paves the way to create strategy. Hope gives way to other things as well, perseverance, courage and strength, unwavering fealty to that which you believe will be. The left hoped one day for 0bummer. The persevered until they got what they hoped for. They hoped then planned(strategy) put that plan into action and it became so. Had their hope not come about I am sure they would have continued hoping and planning to formulate a viable strategy in which they got what they hoped for.
Hope may not be strategy but it does give way to strategy and sets one on a path in which hope becomes eventual reality.
We don’t always get what we want but if we never try, never hope to get it or stop hoping, then by all means we will never ever get it.
