A paradigm is a multitude of habits passed down from generation to generation, and they manifest themselves in many ways. Understanding paradigms. A paradigm is a mental program in your subconscious that controls your habitual behavior. It shapes how you view yourself, the world, and opportunities. Most people are unaware of their paradigms, which are often inherited or formed through repetition in childhood. These paradigms can limit your potential and keep you stuck in patterns that don't serve you. Impact on success. Your paradigm determines your success or failure more than your education or skills.
