Frame Your World

I have been accused of being a Pollyanna, of looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. My agreement with those statements is because I am an optimist. I believe that good will ultimately prevail and that nice guys finish first. How do you frame your world? As your host for ESoup 4 Life, my goal is to give you simple, optimal, useful principles that will add value to your day. One of those principles is that everyone frames their world; there is a paradigm that you have learned and have come to accept that colors not only your view of the world, but also your relationships.

When that changes, you create a powerful paradigm shift. The secret is that you are in control of that shift. You determine what you choose to believe. For the first 40 years of my life, I believed myself to be a shy, introvert who was more interested in books than in groups of people. In a conversation with a trusted group of friends, I admitted that my biggest fear was rejection and also that I was very insecure. That came as a surprise to my friends because it was not how they saw me, but it was how I felt.

It is amazing how our feelings and emotions keep us from reaching our highest potential. The things we tell ourselves can hold us back or raise us up. So we must explore the tape that plays in our head, figure out why we are telling ourselves those things, and then determine the truth. That will shift your mindset and your paradigm and allow you to frame your world the way you desire your world to be.
