Journey toward lasting change begins with a change in Paradigms
QUOTE
1. A Paradigm is a pattern we apply to explaining certain phenomena.
Our set of paradigms determines our character. Our paradigms can spell the difference between success and failure in business and relationships. A paradigm shift occurs when we begin to question our set behaviors and attitudes and start changing them gradually.
QUOTE
2. Our paradigms, correct or incorrect, are the sources of our attitudes and behaviors, and ultimately our relationships with others.

Exercise Your capacity for proactivity rather than reaction
QUOTE
Being proactive means that you take responsibility for your actions rather than blame your entire life on external circumstances.
Proactive people believe their mood or behavior is a function of their internal engineering. Rather than blame others for failure, they seek the way forward. They view life in terms of 2 concentric circles:
•CIRCLE OF CONCERN
•CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE
The circle of concern is filled with the things we worry about: the bills we need to pay, the loans we need to refund,etc.
This circle is quite big.
Inside this circle is a smaller circle called the circle of influence.

Create precise mental pictures and flawless mission statement
We do things twice. First, we conceive an idea in our minds and then execute it in the real world.
To win, you must visualize what winning means and then implement it.
QUOTE
Proper planning is the key to the impeccable execution of any worthwhile goal.
Create time for visualization. Write down your end goals and itemize the steps that you would take to reach them. Before you begin, look at the end.

Once you have that sense of mission, you have the essence of your own proactivity. You have the vision and the values which direct your life.
