Applying the Principles of Growth

If you REALLY want to grow and experience Empowerment in your life, you have got to be willing to base your life on these decisions:

1.  Life is a Choice.

  • I choose my attitude and my internal paradigm of beliefs, values, expectations, and conclusions about myself and my world.
  • The circumstances of my life come and go.  They just ARE.  I always (have always, will always) choose how I respond to the circumstances that come into my life.

2. I Own My Entire Life, Period!

  • My life today is exactly the result of all the choices I have ever made, no more, no less.
  • Blame is an irrelevant activity! It produces no growth or empowerment!
  • Manipulation and Justification come from an internal paradigm of  “VICTIM-PERPETRATOR”, a paradigm based on blame for circumstances in the past that leads to no growth, healing, or change in the future.

3. I Live in the Present.

  • The past is no longer relevant, except to learn from.  The past JUST IS!  Nothing can ever be done to change it.
  • The present is the ONLY place where new choices and change can take place.

4. MY Experience of Life is a Mirror of my Internal State.

  • Everything in my experience and perception of life is filtered through my internal paradigm of beliefs, expectations, and conclusions about myself and my world (which, by the way, I either DECIDED or BOUGHT!).
  • The world I perceive and experience is a reflection (a mirror!) of my internal state, which I CREATE by the decisions and choices I make about how I deal with the circumstances that come into my life, and this has been so from conception and infancy on, to this very moment!
