Hope Strategy #1

Futurecasting : Making Your Goals Come Alive

To attain Hope, you need to create momentum. You need to understand Hope in action. Your journey starts by seeking out and identifying an idea of where we want to go, what we want to accomplish, who we want to be. This could be for tomorrow or for a lifetime. Some of our thoughts are vague and fleeting and quickly forgotten. Others are actively shaped and modified over time. Hope is built from goals that matter most to us, that we come back to over and over again. It is this process that fills our mind with pictures of the future. 

Steve Jobs was born a little under two months before Albert Einstein’s death, both the visionary co-founder of Apple and the most influential physicist of the 20th century agree that one mindframe exceed all of them. Hope!

Jobs touted the power of the right goal and described its impact on his leadership at the helm of Apple. “Intuition is a very powerful thing,” he told writer Walter Isaacson, “more powerful than intellect.” Jobs added, “This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

At the center of Steve Jobs creative ability was his ability to imagine, dream and create. The Future Me Now enables you to quickly learn the skill of activating hope so that you can immediately apply it to any area of your life.

Experimenting Increases Your Hope

Rewind a few decades and Albert Einstein was facing criticism for challenging centuries of scientific thought. One would assume that Einstein favored logic over intuition, but the reverse is true. Einstein is widely quoted as saying:

The objection to Einstein's groundbreaking theory of relativity in the 1920s was unprecedented and received extremely fierce opposition, but the physicist followed his instincts. Einstein’s general theory of relativity is now renowned as a pinnacle of modern-day physics.

“All great achievements of science must start from the intuitive mind,” Einstein once told a friend, according to Psychology Today. “At times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason.”

In keeping with the Einstein quote above, our culture tends to ignore the goal needed to create new ideas. Real success is actually a process of learning, not one of trying to avoid failure at all cost. Hope transcends all of that noise and helps you to create future memories. 

Don't Let Your Past Determine Your Future

“Renewing my mind and imagining my future, has transformed my life. The self-talk and encouragement I’ve learned to give myself has made my future bigger and given me the hope to press on to complete my goals”
