Can we cultivate hope when you simply feel like you don't have any?

I have been incessantly talking about having Hope because it can be taught and nurtured. It's not something you either have or don't have. "Hope is one of the most powerful and essential human mindsets and the antidote to apathy". It basically motivates us to actually achieve our goals in an unknown landscape of future in life.

While wishing is passive, hope is always about taking action.

I have recently decided to serve the palliative patients for emotional support. I am going to profess hope as part of my taking action.
