The Paradigm Shift

No one likes to fail. Everyone wants to be successful. We may have different definitions of what success is, but we want to succeed in what we do. A paradigm shift happened when I decided that I want to be financially independent. It requires me to do things I've never done before. I have to venture into the unknown. If we want to get more from life, it often requires us to leave our comfort zone.

This is where many people stop. Why? Because venturing into the unknown is scary. It's always easier to stick to what we know and what is familiar to us. But if we keep doing things the way we've been doing it for the past 5 years, can we really expect that our life would change? Very unlikely.

If, say, you want to start your own business. You have to learn about how to build a business. If you want to be a world class athlete, you had better start finding a coach or a mentor that can help you train and guide you to achieve that goal. Regardless of what it is that you want to achieve, you have to first decide what you want and then focus your attention on achieving your goal.

If you want to go on a vacation and you don't decide where you want to go, where do you think you'll end up? Just about anywhere.

Deciding what you want and setting your goal is not enough to guarantee that you'll achieve it. You have to focus and concentrate you effort in achieving it. Believe in you heart and soul that you'll achieve it. Convince yourself; leave no room for doubts. Ignore people who say you can't do it. Once you manage to do that, things will start to happen. Doors will start to open. It's as if the entire universe conspires to make your dream a reality.

You don't believe me? You're skeptical? Have you heard of The Law of Attraction? That's what this is all about. Wallace D. Wattles wrote about this more than a century ago. His writings, "The Science of Being Well", "The Science of Being Great" and "The Science of Getting Rich", are all about using the power of your mind to attain a successful and happy life.
