Bob Proctor is inspirational. He says he is not a motivational
speaker. He teaches viable methods of making your dreams a reality.
Recently we attended his "Paradigm Shift" seminar live stream
and we loved it.
Who the heck has
heard of a 'Paradigm?' He describes the paradigm as a subconscious
blueprint that was designed for each of us as a child through DNA and an
environment that reinforced the values of it. Now as an adult we take
stock of what we learned and if it works for us or not.
According to Bob
Proctor, whatever your paradigm is, you better like it because you are going to
bet your life on it. Meaning you live every day from the subconscious
mind directing the conscious mind to do things.
In my house by the
time I was born there were a lot of dashed dreams. Both parents were
disappointed in their lives. Missed opportunities, plans not working out,
it was always because they did not have money. Money seem to be the
reason for everything good or bad and because we did not have much of it there
was a lot of unhappiness, especially in my mother. By the time I was ten the negativity and hopelessness at our house was starting to suffocate me.
It was clear that Jesus could not help even though my mother went to
church and prayed diligently.
To even mention a
dream or a goal was to hear quickly, "That'll never work out."
After years of this response, a child stops dreaming of a better life and
begins to think of how to end this one. (Especially if clinical depression runs
in my family and it does.)
What would have
helped is a parent to say, "Someday, someway, you may figure that out even
if we can't." But these words were never spoken and my eyes began to
dim. My paradigm began to remind me before I opened my mouth, “That'll
never work." I learned that mantra well.
What happened to
the verse, "All things are possible through Christ that strengthened
me?" That scripture was not quoted or mentioned. I learned that
verse after I left home and studied the Bible for myself. My Christian
mother must have never heard that one either. Now I believe your life is
possible if you search and find viable means of supporting yourself. Praying
alone does nothing.
Parents cannot
give what they do not have. They do their best and that is it. That is
what we all do. I set out on a mission to change my life. To find
reason to live and love.
It takes
deliberate action and daily discipline to keep my mind in a positive state.
First I found a way to understand anger and the root causes of it.
Then I found distinct ways to rid my mind of it. Next I found a
dream again, and now I study those that have successfully achieved theirs to
teach me how to achieve mine.
You know I was
thinking, there are people born with talent to sing, act, write, research,
invent, teach college, become a lawyer, doctor, business owner, even be the
Dalai Lama, their path seemed clearer to them at a young age, or it may have
been chosen for them. Then there are people like me that are looking to
live life with love in it and peace. What I have discovered, many that
have the other things I mentioned never found their inner peace. Many do
not know unconditional love. Result restless unhappiness.
So maybe just
maybe I can offer suggestions that helped me find unconditional love and peace
that will help someone else. I hope so, this is why I write...
By george I think
Bob Proctor has got it. I'll be the guinea pig, I'll let you know how it
goes. I'm scared but I'm jumping...
