Even if you don't believe it will happen, what would it be like if things were different for you? That question helps people to think about what they might like to change. You might not be able to change everything, especially immediately, but maybe you could find something you could do that would start to make your life a little better. I sometimes ask that question when someone seems to have so much pain and misery, but isn't expressing any hope for change, or talking about anything that they have control over. I'd just lilke to get you to start thinking about what life could be like for you, or how maybe you could improve it. Because there is hope for you. It just doesn't sound like you have found it yet.
