It took a long time for us to bring the Hope Monster into the web space. I know this cute monster was once in great despair and depression. After getting
inspired by some one's heartfelt message, he (even though we haven't dared to verify the monster's gender, I assume it's a he) has begun to believe in himself and to find hope in himself. One secret about the monster... feed him from time to time... If you don't feed him any quotes for a long time, nobody knows how fierce he may become!

Original Inspiration for the Hope Monster

Ilchi Lee

There is an inspiring man who thinks it is not your destiny but your vision which decides your future. His vision is Love for the Earth, Love for Humanity, and he values this vision more than his own life. He has been on the same path to a better world for 30 years.
He has given inspiration to many people throughout his life, both through the direct example of living, and through messages in his books and lectures. He instigated positive changes in many people’s lives, including the Hope Monster and website staff.

So, we made this website to pay forward the inspiration we got from him, and give the world another way for us to inspire each other. We hope you experience the same joy of inspiration that we did.

(Pssst. Pass it on.)

We will prepare the beginning for you.
