Oh my darlin', Paradigm

 Warm greetings, my amazing fellow Masterminds!

Happy new month to you all! 

March reminds me of a plentiful season that brings new life in all forms. I would like to believe this renewal also comes to each of our lives in some way. 

In my last post, I mentioned paradigms. They can be defined as beliefs we have set up for ourselves through external mental programming (our beliefs have been influenced by others to the point we have accepted them as fact) or internal autonomous mental programming (we've done, thought, felt or held an idea for so long that we have internalized it as fact). 

Think of a paradigm as a software program installed in a device that instructs it how to work. 

Now, think of yourself for a moment as a machine taking instructions from a software that dictates how & why you think, act & behave the way you do. 

Paradigms have a big impact in every aspect of our lives. I was introduced to the idea of my own paradigms back in 2017 but I didn't begin examining, removing & replacing them until 2019. My old paradigms had me singing such a sad tune in life--such as that depressed sounding country song 'oh my darling Clementine'. 😅😅 'Let me give an example...

I never could understand why I seldom finished things I started. Usually, I'd get bored with them or just wouldn't put forth any discipline in seeing it through to completion. It wasn't until I found that my paradigm's code had a deeply implanted seed-- fear of failing. Rather than feeling the painful emotions that I did not succeed, I would just abandon it before it got to that stage. In changing my paradigm, I had to do what may be known as 'shadow work'. I've mentioned this a couple of different times but in being a divine scientist, I try my best to have these blogs backed with the research & evidence of trusted/esteemed sources. I will delve deeper in my creativity to see when I can make this happen. In a nutshell, shadow work is intensive self-reflection. 

As my paradigm crumbled, more & more instances in my life appeared for me to do things that required me to push towards finishing something-which put me in a potential position to 'fail'. In strengthening a new paradigm, one must shift their actions to those that support the newly installed paradigm. 

The late great--Mr. Bob Proctor-- was the individual that introduced me to the idea of a paradigm. I love the way he explained them: 

• Your results cause thoughts & attitudes. 
• Your paradigm supports & agrees with those thoughts/attitudes. 
• Old thoughts/attitudes reinforce old conditioning. 
• Old conditioning produces the same results. 

I had to take inventory of my paradigms, practice changing my thoughts & attitudes (we are what we repetitively think & do), then put into practice the new paradigms I began cultivating. The good thing is we can change external & internal autonomous mental programming based on our free will to do so. In turn, we can change our paradigms to those we actively create for ourselves. This reminds me of an Earl Nightingale quote: 'Your world is a living expression of how you are using & have used your mind'.  Let us spring to living a renewed expression!

My desire & wish for you today, Mastermind, is to think outside the box your paradigms have created for you to live your life-especially the ones that don't support your goals & dreams. You are worthy of an abundant life--abundance of all sorts--& this is my genuine desire & hope for you.
