Be, then do, then have. - Benjamin P. Hardy

Hope is: a clear and specific goal agency thinking. Belief you have control over what you do, that your actions matter, and you can impact the results in your life.10 pathways thinking. You see a path, have a path, or can create multiple paths from where you are now to your goal.

If you can get your head in that game, and actually believe you can “compete” at that level, you’ll see the “experts” work from a different angle. You’ll stop worshipping your heroes and their work. Instead, you’ll begin studying them. What exactly are these people doing differently? How was their work crafted and marketed? Where are the holes you could easily improve upon? What aren’t they doing and why? Rather than consuming your hero’s work as a spectator, you should see it as a tennis ball being sent over the net toward you. Your job now is to respond by sending something back even better.

In The Big Leap, Dr. Gay Hendricks explains these two models as Newtonian Time versus Einstein Time, Einstein time assumes you are where time comes from. You can make as much of it as you want. Newtonian times, assumes there’s a scarcity of time, which leads to an uncomfortable feeling of time urgency inside us. And we think that what is “out there” is causing the feelings “in here.”25
