Exploring The Power of Words By Changing The Way We Write, Speak And Think Through A Special Language Called English Prime

On the quest from 'zero to hero' I shall look at patterns of thinking that stagnate progress. Each E-Primed statement will appear to correspond with the previous thought as intentioned…

SE: I am indifferent to life.
EP: I currently act as if life approximates with ultimately nothing and I don't need anything except my personal "comfort zone".

SE: Comfort zones are very comforting.
EP: Does an "introvert" need to become more "extrovert" and vica-versa? In my opinion I would say yes to the extent that one recognises the value of the contrary attitude or orientation and does what they don't feel like doing with tenacity, patience and persistence to achieve a goal.

SE: Nothing ventured is nothing gained.
EP: It seems to me that regular rationalizations with others equates to a comforting way of indefinitely justifying my currently fruitless existence rather then marshaling myself into action to achieve clearly defined goals.

SE: Life is work, work is life.
EP: The house I grew up in did not come about by magic and would seem to represent the combined work of a father and mother who worked to build and support this legacy through conscious effort and work. If you don't work then somewhere down the line you echo the behaviour of a parasite which does not seem fair to your self and others in the long term.

SE: Life is what you make it.
EP: There would seem like no point denying that work makes the world go around and considering your current state of affairs you will need some well defined goals and marshaling to get from seed to fruit.

SE: "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you fail to focus on your goal" — from a motivational poster entitled GOALS
EP: Not taking action towards a well-defined goal approximates with losing forward-momentum and would seem like a problem in project organization and personal management inefficiency.

SE: Introverts are reclusive-thinkers. Extroverts are outgoing-doers.
EP: In my own estimation, introversion depicts the orientation of looking within for the answers to life's problems and at the extreme may result in "rationalization looping" living life in pure thought. On the other hand, extroversion represents to me the orientation that seems to concern itself with the outer world of people and objects and at the extreme may result in "uncontrolled impulsiveness" living life in pure action.

SE: So where are you at Spence?
EP: A personality assessment once held that my predominant orientation would seem to approximate towards introversion which I can agree with based on a relatively stronger need for self over "the outer world".

SE: An introverted-orientation is your excuse/rationalization.
EP: Since my behaviour follows the pattern of a person with predominant introverted-orientated THINKING it would appear to demonstrate my lack of ability or determination in understanding or applying extroverted-orientated ACTION.

SE: I am not an extrovert.
EP: I would argue that "extrovert" as a concept in itself would appear to show up in society as a stereotype based on a person's attitude towards socialising and yes, like perhaps a typical "introvert" I prefer quality over quantity. The concept of appearing to not resemble an "extrovert" therefore evokes in me the perception of it having nothing to do with my personal ability to take ACTION.

SE: "Don't come out with us, be a recluse instead." — said a disgruntled "extrovert" friend to me who wanted to marshal a clubbing party.
EP: It would seem like you have no reason to stay in other then to do your "introvert" thing, whatever that takes the form of.

SE: Organization is key.
EP: THINK business. Define your goals. Define your steps. Schedule your action-steps. No need for down-time. Look at steps for a moment and take ACTION.

SE: Down-time is your ticket to melancholy.
EP: Considering your Rational temperament I would estimate that your specific type of "depression" appears melancholic. In other words, during your bouts of low productivity towards goals you can maintain pensive or thoughtful sadness. This would come across to others as a general annoyance to do anything that takes your mind off solving your own problems whilst going through an unfortunate but somewhat necessary phase of personal down-time to recuperate the loss of productivity.

SE: ACTION is your ticket to happiness.
EP: As Winston Churchill once said, "I never worry about action, only inaction." which reaffirms the obvious to me that ACTION leads to happiness and INACTION leads to melancholy.

SE: Writing in English-Prime is changing my life.
EP: Writing in English-Prime impresses me as a way of critically examining distorted thoughts that would otherwise lead to disassociations with reality.
