A milestone that we have set for ourselves that we wish to match or even surpass.
A helping hand in times of need.
Milestones that we've set for others is also considered hope.

but all in all, it revolves just around a word : wish
wishing for ourselves to attain something
wishing for someone to help
wishing for someone to achieve something
the feeling of wanting something to happen is embedded in our lives.
"I hope that the bus arrives when I reach"
"Sure hope that I can score high in this test"
But such hopes are worthless, unless you do something about it.
I guess hope, without actions to increase the chances of it happening, is just purely a state of mind that a small part of selfishness resides in.
Whatever you want, you work for it.
Praying and hoping for it to happen will never work out.
All the best in fulfilling your hopes
