All of our paradigms can either steal from our success or add to it. They have the power to create or to destroy. And as I first told you in this module, you ultimately have full control over them.
That’s it! That’s the simple yet very powerful secret behind all the paradigms you have – all visual, all aural and all behavioral paradigms. You have control over them. I’m sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting a deep, complex, mysterious secret. Sometimes the simplest most obvious secrets are the greatest kept ones of all.
Your paradigms may be strongly ingrained through years and years of living and programming, but you still have control over them. Your focus and attitude may take a long time and a lot of effort to shift in the direction you want them to go, but that doesn’t change the fact that you still ultimately have control over them. It may even be easier to blindly hide behind the façade that your paradigms control your life rather than admit that you are responsible for them.
It’s that simple. You have control over your paradigms.
To take advantage of this secret, you must become aware of your current paradigms and be willing to shift them, to alter your focus and your attitudes when needed in order to grow closer to the success you desire in your life. This is nothing more than creating the habit of stepping out of the mental boxes you’ve created for yourself to interpret the people, objects, events, and situations in your environment. Be willing to look at your world differently. Study it from varying angles rather than just accept the automatic paradigms you have in place. Try to see situations as others do; even try to see them as perhaps no one has before.
This doesn’t mean you’re constantly going to be changing who you are and the principles you stand for. It means you’re not going to take how you see your world for granted. You’re going to look at it through different paradigms and decide which paradigms best leverage your time and your success. You’re then going to use these paradigms as a basis to compare others to either justify continuing using them or tweak them to make them even better. Sounds like continual success doesn’t it? Well, it is!
I don’t want this to become too philosophical. I want this secret to make a very pertinent and practical impact in your life. The best way to do this from my experiences is to help you ingrain another easy-to-apply tool into your Time Control toolbox. This tool, a behavioral paradigm onto itself, is just a simple question.
The Question All rights reserved.
So this whole module now boils down to a single question that can help you become aware and gain positive control over the paradigms in your life. Without any further delay, your paradigm question is 1"How can shifting my paradigm for this situation better leverage my success?"
Remember, your success is whatever you define it to be. It can be improving your relationships with those you love; it can be improving your career or financial security and abundance; it can be gaining a significant amount of control over your time; it can be growing your business to substantial profits; it can be finding more peace in your life; or it can be a combination. There is no "right" success; there is just what you ultimately want your life to be – however simple or grandiose.
Frequently asking yourself this question throughout your day towards the varying stimuli and situations you encounter forces you to keep your eyes, ears and mind open to the paradigms in your life. When you notice existing paradigms that negatively impact your life, you can make a conscious decision at that time to brainstorm alternatives and act on a positive, new one. Remember, you have control. Change just takes awareness, desire and action.
Will you change your negative paradigms to positive ones overnight or will you instantly make your current positive paradigms even stronger? It’s possible! And it all depends on you. Your paradigm question, if used consistently and aggressively, will force awareness and help you brainstorm positive alternatives. Creating change takes action, and action is influenced by desire or motivation. Only you can act to make changes. You are the key! Like my parents, you can instantly flip a switch to shift negative paradigms to positive ones. If your desire isn’t that great, it may take more time to eventually alter your focus and your attitudes. But even if you need more time to generate the change you desire, time will work for you if you let it. Just consistently apply this question, and take action on it to the best of your ability. You will succeed, and you will better gain control over your time!
