Create A Lifetime Of Hope

According to Marty McFly in the classic 1985 movie Back to the Future, “If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.”

Now that we live in the future, in a world where there is more information available at your fingertips than you could ever consume, at a time where it only takes a click to pick the brains of the most brilliant experts of our era, it can indeed seem like anything is possible. One just needs a bit of imagination and determination.

Why is it then that we struggle so much to accomplish our goals? That we start many projects but only finish a few, if any? That we spend so much time procrastinating instead of learning and creating?

And why do 92% of people never achieve their New Year’s goals while others seem to more easily manage to stick to their plan?

The Neuroscience of Hope demonstrates that it’s all about having the right or the wrong mind frame for the task. You can have the best tools and strategies, but if you don’t have the right mindframe, things are not going to work.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a mindframe is a mental attitude or outlook. It’s more than just a mood, it encompasses the particular way someone thinks or feels about something, and deeply influences one’s behaviour.

What we find interesting is that mindframes are always presented as states in which the individual is bound to be. A mindframe seems to be a passive state.

It influences how the individual thinks and acts, but we rarely discuss how the individual can influence their mindframe.

This may be what is wrong with our approach in setting, managing, and achieving our goals. Instead of shaping our mindframes in a way that plays in our favour and makes it easy for us to progress and feel fulfilled, we see positive mindframes as lucky aids and negative mindframes as inevitable obstacles.

The Neuroscience of Hope is about mindframing compared to other learning frameworks you might have tried. So if you have been frustrated by your ability to actually change your life and you have tried just about everything that you know to see real results, consider this proven process which has worked for decades with amazing results.
