💬 Quote of the week
You don’t get what you want. You get what you are!
When we say, “You don’t get what you want. You get what you are,”
We mean that the results we achieve in life are a reflection of who we are as a person, rather than just what we desire or wish for.
For example,
if you want to be successful in your career, you can’t just sit around wishing for success to come to you. You have to become the kind of person who is willing to work hard, learn new skills, take risks, and persevere through setbacks.
If you become that kind of person, success is more likely to follow.
Similarly, if you want to have healthy relationships with others, you have to be the kind of person who is trustworthy, empathetic, and able to communicate effectively. If you become that kind of person, you are more likely to attract and maintain healthy relationships with others.
Ultimately, “You don’t get what you want. You get what you are” is a reminder that success and happiness in life are not just about having the right goals and desires, but also about becoming the kind of person who can achieve them.

⚡️ Paradigm shift – The Key to Unlocking Growth and Success
Are you stuck in a rut, struggling to make progress towards your goals? Do you feel like you’re constantly hitting roadblocks and obstacles that keep you from achieving the success you desire? It may be time for a paradigm shift.
What is a Paradigm Shift?
A paradigm shift is a fundamental change in the way we view the world, a change in our basic assumptions about how things work. It’s a shift in perspective that opens up new possibilities and opportunities that were previously hidden from view.
Here are some practical steps you can take to shift your perspective:
- Identify your assumptions: Take a look at your beliefs and assumptions about the world. Are there any that are holding you back or limiting your potential?
- Challenge your assumptions: Question your assumptions and consider alternative viewpoints. Look for evidence that contradicts your beliefs, and be open to new ideas.
- Seek out diverse perspectives: Surround yourself with people who have different perspectives and experiences. This can help you see things from a new angle and challenge your assumptions.
- Embrace uncertainty: Paradigm shifts can be uncomfortable and unsettling, but they can also be exciting and full of potential. Embrace the uncertainty and be open to new possibilities.
- Take action: Once you’ve identified a new perspective, take action to implement it in your life. This might mean trying out a new approach or taking a risk.
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s essential to be adaptable and open to change. Implementing a paradigm shift can be a powerful tool for unlocking growth and success.
