A paradigm

Paradigm; what a strange word, in fact how many times do you use this word? Bare with me here I promise this is not boring. This could change something for you. So let’s dig in shall we?

Dictionary.Com defines paradigm as:

A) Set of forms all of which contain a particular element, esp. the set of all
inflected forms based on a single stem or theme.

B) A display in fixed arrangement of such a set, as boy, boy's, boys, boys'

C) An example serving as a model; pattern.

Ok let’s go with C a pattern, a pattern of thinking. What is your thought process? Or what do you think when someone communicates something to you? Let me give you an example:
A young lady was speeding down a mountain road one day in her convertible. It was nice sunny day so she had the top down enjoying the ride. Tooling along she came to a bend in the road with a blind spot. At the same time a young man in his convertible was going the opposite way. As they came along side each other he yelled “PIG!” Well she looked backed and yelled “JERK!” when she turned back around there in the road was the largest pig she dad ever seen! She hit the brakes, missed the pig but totaled her car. In the little time the young man had to communicate to her that there was a pig in the road up ahead he only had time for one word. She took the word as an insult, a pattern of thinking on her part; a paradigm.

So my question is do you need a Paradigm Shift? Paradigm shift is a change from one way of thinking to another, and can apply to anything; your job, your married life, your relationships, your home, and your surroundings. What, however, changes is your attitude to all these. Your positive or negative, and good or bad, attitudes define the way things appear to you. So check out your thought patterns you might need a change; the next time someone yells “PIG!” you might want to slow down. Need a mentor? I’m right HERE
