CHANGE YOUR PARADIGM CHANGE YOUR LIFE

“Most paradigms are developed when we are young, naïve, and relatively powerless. They are often based on the inaccurate interpretations of childhood experiences. Since they are often unconscious, they are rarely evaluated or updated. Perhaps most significantly, they are assumed to be 100 percent accurate — even when they are not.”

You feel you’ve tried your best. Yet you’re still not getting the results — what could be wrong? 

You must be operating with the wrong paradigm. 

This means, if you work around a system ineffective to your goals, you won’t get the results you want.

The philosopher Thomas Kuhn suggested that a paradigm includes “the practices that define a scientific discipline at a certain point in time.” Paradigms contain all the distinct, established patterns, theories, common methods and standards that allow us to recognize an experimental result as belonging to a field or not.

The Meaning of Life: A Paradigm Shift

At some point during their lifetime, most people begin to concern themselves with living a meaningful life. They find themselves wanting to see some sort of purpose to their existence.

Don’t wait for someone to come and tell you how to live, or for some absolute purpose to reveal itself to you. It’s a dead-end strategy. Don’t deny your natural freedom. Instead, make the most of it. Be the active designer of your life, from top to bottom.

But before you get started, you have to be clear on a few things.

First, remember that a paradigm is a multitude of habits that are lodged in your subconscious mind.

Second, you must change the paradigm in the same way it was created—through repetition of information.

And, third, you must understand that to change a paradigm you have to consciously and deliberately replace a “bad” habit with a good habit. Otherwise, you’re going to form another bad habit because nature abhors a vacuum.
