“Paradigm Shift”? What is that??

I’ll be honest I had no clue what that meant until November of 2002.

“Story Time“!

I was in the Navy and going through a lot mentally. I was the “Poster Child” for depression. Psych eval’s on the regular and my L.P.O. (Boss) laughing at me asking if I’ve seen any “Pink Elephants”?

I got off work one day and ran into a friend of mine outside of the barracks.  He was going crazy! (in a good way) I honestly could not tell you what he said because he was stuttering beyond belief, in pure excitement!  It was something about making a lot of money and FAST! Thats all I needed to hear…”Be in the lounge at 6 tonight!” was the last thing I heard from him.

I fell asleep and woke up around 6:15 and ran to the lounge and there sat a well kept man in a VERY NICE suit and shoes that looked like they were worth more than my paycheck!! Did what he say make sense…Yes! It was Multi-Level Marketing. But, the following Saturday this gentleman picked me up to take me to a “presentation” and he was listening to some crazy old man talking about “Madness”!

At this point I was thinking “This guy is a complete LOSER!” It was getting to know him and the people at the “presentation” and seeing some of the cars in the parking lot (some very cool ones might I add) that made me think maybe I should pay attention to this crazy old man and his “Madness”…His name was [Jim Rohn] LOL Yeah go ahead and laugh!

Now that my mind was open I noticed that this old man MADE SENSE!!!

Change the way you think! – Its simple but I never knew how big it was

It was this point that I realized that “As a man thinketh, So is he or she”!!!

If you say you are..You Are! If you say you are not..You Are Not!

If your having a “Bad Day” you possess the power to change it!!

“Now I know, only I can stop the rain!”-DMX (yes I just quoted him)

Its that simple, What is “Paradigm Shift”

This is the “Paradigm Shift for Dummies”- Definition

Create Your Dream Day!!

If you start your day off listening to that annoying buzz sound that comes with every alarm clock(You know what I’m talking about…that sound that makes you want to cry!) and yell and pound your hand against the alarm clock.  Get up and stub your toe on the leg of your bed and hit your head on your dresser as you reach down to grab your toe…Guess what Your Going To Have A Bad Day!!!

But…

If you wake up with a sound you like and tell your self “I’m going to be great today!” Wash your face and brush your teeth then look in the mirror and afferm the fact that you are “Golden” and “Your Going to be Great Today!” Guess what Your Going To Have A Great Day!!!

Here It Is-

A “Paradigm Shift” is needed in everybodies life!

Try this prayer (for you Christians)

God,

Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

And Wisdom to know the difference!

Amen

Thats It and All I have to say!!

As always Be Good and

Over time I’ve come to realize some things that most people know but don’t know that they know it!! (I hope I didn’t lose you).

“Personal Reality” is as strong if not stronger than vision!

If you have the vision of being successful you will get there!  Its just that “Personal Reality” is almost a step above vision.

Let me explain-

What is “Real” to one person may not be “Real” to another.  I’m not saying it doesn’t exist-What I’m saying is, for example, for the longest time my “Personal Reality” was that life was hard.  I believed that with all my heart.  I even tried to prove it to my friends and family.

My “Personal Reality” that life was hard drove me to a state of depression that I wish for no one! Panic and Anxiety-Attacks mixed with massive Suicidal Thoughts! YES…At one point in my life I did not want to live.

(Sorry but I have to say it)

Long story short…

I was in the U.S. Navy stationed on the U.S.S. Austin LPD-4 and at first I loved it…But after a very brief time on the ship I learned that it wasn’t for me. I HATED IT! Up before everyone so I could get their breakfast ready (I was a cook by the way) and couldn’t go to sleep till the Galley was clean from dinner.  Sometimes that would be 20 hour days back to back depending on what was on the menu.

No sleep mixed with not liking what you were doing and a sprinkle of stress from the then(fiancee) is not a good thing!!

Thus my “Personal Reality” was that Life was Hard!!!

BUT..

After realizing that life is what you make it be, and that you control your destiny I had changed my reality

Its not about what other people think.

WHAT IS REAL TO YOU CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOU!

If you fall into the mental trap of being depressed remember this: You hold the key to unlocking whatever door you want!

You can do so by simply changing your “Personal Reality” being What you believe is real!!

Life is not hard and that is one reality that I hope EVERYONE has!!

As always Be Good and
