H.O.P.E.

“When the world says, Give up, Hope whispers, Try it one more time.”

Famous Quotivation Day #2 – November 19, 2010

You know the drill.

A thing gets tougher and tougher till you begin to believe that the only option open to you is to quit and give up.

But if you’re lucky enough, and lots aren’t, you get this little niggley feeling from deep down inside of you that says “Try it one more time”.

It looks like a useless idea because it’s damn hard work to follow a suggestion like that.  You already have the facts. You have the evidence stacked up from previous failures that work to convince you that what you’re trying to do is impossible to accomplish… at least by you.

There’s just one thing that you have left. Hope. As faint as it looks it can spur you on to try again.  It’s a lot more than just another four letter word if you look at it closely.

For me HOPE is an acronym for “History Opens Perception Expands”. It’s part and parcel of how I explain mindset immunity.

Your past (H) history has within it the entire record that is your success footprint. It’s complete and quite detailed. It includes within it every feeling you’ve ever had for those times when you’ve gained even the slightest victory. If you can get it to (O) open it will reveal a trove of all those great memories. It is very empowering.

Imagine what it would be like if every moment of space and time where you won out over adversity could be piled one atop the other, like so many slices of bread, and visit with you in your current space and time.

I’ve been quietly doing just that for clients in seminars for over 25 years now and I can tell you it’s over-the-top powerful.

Why?

When this is done your (P) perception of the base energy behind the accomplishment (E) expands to become your now reality. You will feel it in your gut brain. It will present itself as real, solid, and irrefutable hard evidence that you can build an enduring self-belief on. A vital component of success attainment.

With HOPE working for you you’ll come to the conclusion that you’ve done it before and you can do it again.

So why give up now? You still have hope don’t you?

More power to you my friends.

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

President elect Franklin D. Roosevelt said that 76 years and two months ago.

He was eloquent in his attempt to deliver on the promise that the American people could pull out of the depths of the economic troubles that they then faced.

It’s weird.

I read the text of that speech and I felt like any minute now I could be hearing it being said for real by President Obama as it poured  out of the clock radio beside my bed while I sipped this morning’s coffee.

It’s that relevant.

When things are bad and we feel powerless to change them (like the workers at Chrysler Corporation must do) what we all want is to have more hope. We all want someone to stand up and tell us how to get that hope.

But, like Seth Godin said in his blog post today, “I don’t know what to do. You do.”

Lots of us want someone to tell us what to do. That’s why we elect politicians isn’t it?  But like Seth says, it’s not the pat answers – the ones that those business gurus who try lead us provide – but the kinds of questions they ask that we should listen to.

I agree.

Questions are very powerful because they cause us to come up with our own solutions for things that are tailored to our own unique situation.  As the world’s first “immunity coach” the only advice I give people is to not continually pursue success but rather learn to deny the sting of failure (after all there’s so much more of it) by strengthening your immunity to it and therefore your mindset.

The process I use forces them to ask themselves questions – a lot of

questions – by applying the formula of H.O.P.E..

It’s an acronym that stands for:

History
Opens
Perception
Expands

What I mean by that is this: If you were to carefully examine your past success history you’d find that there are certain nuggets of gold buried in those times when you had no choice but to overcome difficulties.

These are your personal stories. The highlights of your life that will Open to you greater Perception of the success ‘juice’ that powers the HERO within you.

Once you find that hidden HERO it Expands into all areas of your life and your future can then unfold without so much fear because then…

you’ll be the person you hoped for.

More power to you my friends,

David.
