take the past performance of the person, business, or whatever, and project it into the future: • Do I want this same reality, frustration, or problem six months from now? • Do I want this same level of performance a year from now? • Do I want to be having these same conversations two years from now? If the answer to these is no, then it is time to ask some other questions that get you to the real anatomy of hope: • What reason is there to have hope that tomorrow is going to be different? • What in the picture is changing that I can believe in?
