Hope Focus: We Time Travel
"The future is always beginning now."
~ Mark Strand
This month's hope focus is the third of the three universal truths: We Time Travel. This truth asserts that children are successful when they can articulate their future.
Mental Time Travel is the ability to envision your future in the four destinations of life, then return to the present and make a plan to get there. How you see your future will determine the choices you make today.
It's very likely that, over time, your vision for your future will change. You might decide to pursue a different career, change where you want to live, or find interest in new activities. That's okay. What shouldn't change is your vision of a future where you're healthy, happy, and successful on your terms. What propels you forward is the belief that you deserve to be healthy, happy, and experience success in the ways you want to experience it, and that you can make it happen. This belief is what influences the choices you make along the way--starting now--so that what started out as a vision becomes your reality. This belief is what grows the hope inside you that will lead you all the way there.
How will you begin your future now?
KEEP HOPE GROWING!
Hope is Measurable and Teachable
Summer Reading: Hope Rising
Hope is much more than wishful thinking. Science tells us that it is the most predictive indicator of well-being in a person’s life. Hope is measurable. It is malleable. And it changes lives. In Hope Rising, Casey Gwinn and Chan Hellman reveal the latest science of hope using nearly 2,000 published studies, including their own research. Based on their findings, they make an impassioned call for hope to be the focus not only of our personal lives, but of public policy for education, business, social services, and every part of society.
