If we don’t shift our thinking, we get stagnant.

Paradigm shifts are good for us.

Paradigm shifts are good for us.

We are used to the way things have always been done.

When we don’t change, we can become inefficient or outdated.

Paradigm shifts help us to see things in the way they should be done.

Or offer a new perspective on how things could be done.

A paradigm shift is a conceptual change.

We are used to doing things one way and this is fine.

However, when we become stuck in our ways, there can be consequences.

If we don’t shift our thinking, we get stagnant.

When we look for new ways to work, we find solutions to problems.

The only way we can be successful and grow as people is to not only accept paradigm shifts, but proactively seek them out and force challenges on our own perceptions of what we hold to be true and comfortable.

By doing this, repeatedly.

This is how we become stronger, more complete people.

Multiply this by an entire population and you’ve now found yourself amongst an incredible group of progressive, intellectually brilliant, forward thinking and accepting individuals.

Now we can’t ask every single person to accept this into their own life.

It’s uncomfortable and obtuse and forces us outside of our comfort zone.

But if just a few of us take this to hear, internalize it and live it.

We can all be slightly better people, that constantly strive to learn more, challenge more and grow in our thought processes.

As the famed physicist Thomas Kuhn defined it in his seminal 1962 book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, “Paradigm shifts arise when the dominant paradigm under which normal science operates is rendered incompatible with new phenomena, facilitating the adoption of a new theory or paradigm.”

As a physicist, Thomas Kuhn applied the term to science, but his definition now needs to apply to any established system, whether scientific, governmental, socio-economic or way of thinking.
