The Paradigm Within You
If you have found yourself saying more often than not that you are sick of the way things are and you want things to change, you must be aware that YOU are the one that needs to change before anything else will change. These changes could include how you view yourself, as well as, how you interpret people, situations, and experiences in your day to day life.
When taking steps toward a more successful life, the changes you make within yourself will be crucial and they need to come from within your soul. You could call it self-talk, positive mental attitude, affirmations, whatever! It all begins within you. Remember..."if nothing changes...nothing changes…and if you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got, and will keep feeling what you always felt."
If you find that you are a person who is very set in your ways, or you are not willing to change or to be mentored, you may pass by many doors to new opportunities because of your closed mindedness and unwillingness to view things differently. In comparing successful people and average people, generally speaking, successful people have a totally different view about their own lives and about their opportunities. Successful people have learned to think and expect success, while average people have learned to think and stay average.
We are all different, we all have our life experiences that have shaped and molded us and made us who we are. However, if you want things to change in your life for the better, you need to change your mindset in order to make it happen. It is not has hard as you might think to change your mind-set. Let me give you an example that helped me understand how quickly you can change your view on anything.
Several years ago I read a book by Stephen R. Covey, entitled, "7 Habits of Highly Effective People," and it made a lasting impression on me.
He told of a time he was riding a subway in New York City on a Sunday morning. He said it was a quiet non-eventful ride. That is until a man and his children boarded the subway.The children were loud and bouncing around and disturbing everyone, however, the father just sat there with his eyes closed not seeming to notice the disturbance they were causing.
He said he could not believe that the father did not even try to quiet the children or to apologize for their behavior. He said that finally, with what he felt was unusual patience and restraint, he turned to him and said, "Sir, your children are really disturbing a lot of people. I wonder if you couldn't control them a little more."
The man lifted his gaze as if to come to a realization of the situation for the first time and said softly, "Oh, you're right. I guess I should do something about it. We just came from the hospital where their mother died about an hour ago. I don't know what to think, and I guess they don't know how to handle it either."
Covey goes on to say, "Can you imagine what I felt at that moment? My paradigm shifted. Suddenly I saw things differently; I felt differently, I behaved differently. My irritation vanished. I didn't have to worry about controlling my attitude or my behavior; my heart was filled with the man's pain. Feelings of sympathy and compassion flowed freely. "Your wife just died? Oh, I'm so sorry. Can you tell me about it? What can I do to help?"
Everything changed in an instant!
A paradigm shift is a change in perception and interpretation of how the world works. It can change in an instant and it changes how you perceive and act regarding productivity, time management, positive thinking, acting with initiative rather than reacting. Just a simple change in your way of thinking, or a paradigm shift, can instantly change the way you perceive anything you encounter. By simply changing the way you think, can put you on the path of change in your life which can allow you to reach your goals.
You can change your thinking to that of success and that of an entrepreneurial spirit. Determine what it is that you want and then change your perception of what it would take to make it happen. Have the courage and the determination to do whatever it takes to be successful. Don't let your past negative thinking or behaviors stop you from changing your situation immediately. Remember a paradigm shift is just a change in perception and interpretation.
You will always have challenges in your career, your family life, and your personal life, but successful minded people will change their paradigm and turn these challenges into new opportunities.
Again, remember ..."if nothing changes...nothing changes…and if you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got, and will keep feeling what you always felt."
