Paradigm: A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them. When we are honest with ourselves we can begin to analyze our shortcomings in life and begin to target solutions. It may take a person being diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver before they accept the fact that they are struggling with alcohol. It may take a person having a heart attack before they realize that they are struggling with stress and/or eating habits. What is your breaking-point/limit before you realize that you are struggling in an area of your life because of your fractured (flawed) paradigm. A man's paradigm of how he views women can lead to numerous unproductive relationships that result in divorce, wasted time, wasted money, and loss of opportunities. A woman's paradigm of her self-esteem can lead to her degrading herself which in turn can lead to an undesirable living situation. It is not logical to believe that a fractured paradigm will lead to a complete/holistic destiny. When something is fractured then it is not at its full quality. Many people lower the standard (expectation) of their destiny instead of addressing the issue of their fractured paradigm (mindset) . This may be the best way for them to cope with their flawed mindset. Every creation has a creator which knows the reason/purpose behind why they created something. The sooner that we realize that God is the ultimate creator is the sooner that we can begin to seek Him for the healing of our ruptured paradigm. Mechanics fix cars, plumbers fix pipes, doctor's give prescriptions, and God repairs paradigms. I just want to encourage you today to begin seeking the solution to reshifting your paradigm.

Keep writing brother. Be encouraged in the Lord. God bless you.
Praise HIM, Scott. Another great blog to make you go "hmmmm...". Be blessed!
This is definitely a confirmation for me. I am at a point in my life where I have to renew my mind and change my ways. I was short changing God and I finally faced my breaking point, of uncontrollable tears and depression. I am removing all things and people that are of hinderence to me and now all I can said is THANK YOU JESUS!!
