I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half of the things you do you might as well turn over to me and I will do them - quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed - you must be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons, I will do it automatically. I am the servant of great people, and alas, of all failures as well. Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failure

I am not a machine though I work with the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a person. You may run me for profit or run me for ruin - it makes no difference to me. Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you.

Paradigms A paradigm is the way you see something – your point of view, frame of reference, or belief. Sometimes your paradigms are way off the mark, and as a result, they create limitations. When you have incomplete paradigms about yourself, it’s like wearing glasses with the wrong prescription.

What do you see pictured? If this was your friend, what would you do?

How does this change your perception of the situation? Now what would you do?
