Research shows that Hope is made up of two qualities: Agency (or Willpower) and Pathways (or Waypower).
Willpower is determined, in part, by your brain having enough fuel, or nutrients. Waypower is the ability to
make small steps toward your goal and comes, in part, from having support to continue towards your goals.
