I got an email from a reader today, one of many such emails:
“Hi Sophie, I listened to your video but I didn’t get the answer or find solution to my struggles in life! I am wondering, yes as you said, why I am not transformed in-spite of learning so many methods from attending seminars and reading books! I came from a broken family I tried to change my life but sometimes my life was up but mostly down!
Financially I struggle, bankrupt and thinking to end my life. . . But when I hear your story, I did not and I am now almost 5 years searching for answers? I have read the Bible many times from cover to end and everyday, I received emails trying to sell me self-improvement books but I am fed up, nothing works! I would appreciate if you can help me!”
So what can you answer to someone who has been struggling and considering suicide a viable alternative?
One major distinction I need to teach to all my readers, students, a distinction that if you don’t learn it, you’ll miss everything.
The distinction is called: Where are you listening from?
The from is the operative word here. It is your base attitude consistent with your “grounds of being”.
We each are embedded in a paradigm. The insides and the walls of our paradigm are built from our belief system. Your paradigm has everything that you need to stay the same, and nothing to be more successful that you are, happier than you are, thinner, richer, more entertaining, more attractive than you are.
Your current life is exactly what’s possible inside your current paradigm.
When you look at someone who has what you crave, you can be 100% sure that they live in a different paradigm with beliefs that can’t be found in yours.
