The word “PRAXIS” in English means, “the process of using a theory or something that you have learned in a practical way”. But Bob Proctor gave a different understanding of this word, which integrates our belief system to our behaviour. According to him Praxis is the “integration of our Belief with our Behaviour”. What we believe and get emotionally involved translates into action or our behaviour. We can change our behaviour, when we change our beliefs.
Now let’s look at our ProPer life. Over the years that I have been in the corporate sector, I observed but lately “job security” or security in general is emerging as a concern for everyone. We believe that if we are secured professionally, our personal lives are also secured (false belief). In ensuring this we end up unbalancing ourselves and focus more on our professional lives. In other words, we start giving up “Freedom for Security”. He very rightfully said and I quote, “When a person gives up his freedom for security, they generally end up with neither”.
Our entire life goes from securing marks in exams to securing seats in universities to securing jobs in companies and thereafter securing what we have in hand, our family, our future, our growth, our children and now we are trying to secure mother earth & environment. In all this we have somewhere lost ourselves as a person, our freedom to live.
Our belief system is built on false notions that reflect our behaviour in day-to-day life.
Don’t you think we are responsible for what we are today? Do we really have a ProPer Life?
I think & I state, “we are responsible for our experiences and the results that follow”. I am changing my paradigms, are you willing to do the same?
