Proper Mental Attitudes-

There is a great difference between worry and concern. A worried person sees a problem, and a concerned person solves a problem.
-Harold Stephens
It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
-Alfred Adler
I hear: I forget / I see: I remember / I do: I understand
-Chinese Proverb
Discipline is just choosing between what you want now and what you want most.

Sunny Side
of Life | Working at the post office, I'm used to dealing with a moody public. So, when one irate customer stormed my desk, I responded in my calmest voice, "What's the trouble?"
"I went out this morning," she began, "and when I came home, I found a card saying the mailman tried to deliver a package, but no one was home. I'll have you know, my husband was in all morning! He never heard a thing!"
After apologizing, I got her parcel.
"Oh good!" she gushed. "We've been waiting for this for ages!"
"What is it?" I asked.
"My husband's new hearing aid."

SEEDS of SUCCESS by Bob Prentice

Shift Your Paradigms
The dictionary defines a paradigm
(pronounced para-dime) as a mind-set, a habit, a belief or a conviction
about something. We all have paradigms, and having a paradigm in itself,
is neither good nor bad. In fact, it is perfectly normal to have
paradigms, so what's the big deal? Well the fact is, not all paradigms
are positive, and that's why we sometimes need to 'shift our paradigms.'
Several years ago, I sat down and made a
list of my positive mind sets. Then I listed my bad habits and negative
mind sets. It sure was eye-opening! I knew it would take courage to
shift my negative paradigms, but I was determined.
To be honest, shifting a paradigm is
sometimes a pretty long process, and you have to be persistent. Daily, I
have to take small, manageable steps toward change. Let me give you an
example. I had a bad habit I knew I had to break-grumbling and
complaining. I decided that whenever a complaining thought came to my
mind, I'd make a genuine effort to shift my thinking from the negative
to the good and positive in the situation. I'll admit, I still grumble
and complain on occasion, but not at all to the degree that I used to.
Another example-I never used to plan, I
had no goals -I was in the habit of 'winging it'. This strategy was not
bearing much fruit, so I shifted my paradigm. At first, when I was
tempted to 'wing it' again, I literally had to make myself sit down to
write a plan, but each time it got a little easier, and now I love to
write my plans, ideas, goals, and strategies down on paper!
Let me encourage you to do what I have
done-be honest with yourself, identify your paradigms, decide on the
mind sets you can tackle, and shift them. I know you can do it! If you
would like to discuss this further, please feel free to call me, toll
free 800-437-9715. I would love to chat with you about this topic of
shifting paradigms.
