Paradigm Shift

By Reynor Buenaflor

Paradigm shift.... Heard about this word?

Typically cahracterized by exclamations of "Now I get it !"

"Men, my eyes were opened."

"Awesome, How could I miss this one before?"

"Why did I only realize these things now! "

Moving to the next level. Defining moments. Eye-opener. Awakening. Enlightening. A great aha!

Call it in any name you want but the experience is always characterized with a realization... some awe and grandeur...

followed by a desire of change.

A desire to do things in a different way. Simply stated... a change in perspective.

I got some trivias (might be a common sense to some....)

Do you know that you can learn literally hundred years worth of wisdom by reading the life of other people?

Do you have someone you look up to? Want to learn how he thinks and how he lives his life?

Just read their biography or auto-biography.

Do you know that you can speed up your growing curve by learning from other people's goofs?

Business? Read Business stories and be inspired by entrepreneurs who rise up after failures and triumph.

Learn from their wisdom and save yourself from lots of pain and lost of money.

Career? Learn from people who make it big time... What about Jack Welch from GE.

Family? There are lots and lots of bits and pieces about family.

Do you know that your future 5 to 10 years from now is determined by the sum total of the books you read and the people you are with?

Wow! What a claim. What a truth plainly stated! "Any proof guys?", you might ask.

Try it for yourself!

For the next 5 years. Change your closest friends and the books you read. Garbage in, garbage out.

Make sure you apply all the things that you read.

It is that simple.

I am saying it again.... Your life 5 to 10 years from now is determined by the sum total of the books you read and the people you are with.

How's that for a start.

Want to improve your life?

Change your mind. Change what you feed your mind. Change the books that you read and the people you are with.

Take it from Jim Ronh, "If you don't like how things are, change it! You are not a tree."

Paradigm shift...perspective shift...can spark a big "life shift".

Make sure you shift your life to the better side.

It is your choice.

Now do something! Choose what you feed on!
