Discover the 90/10 principle.It will change your life(or at least, the the way you react to situations)
&nb sp; What is this Principle?
10% of life is made up of what happens to you..90% of life is decided by how you react..
&nb sp; What does that mean?
We really have NO control over 10% of what happen to us..We cannot stop the car from breaking down..The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off..A driver may cut us off in the traffic..We have NO control over this 10%..
The 90% is different.You determined the other 90%..How?....By your reaction.You cannot control a red light.However, you can control your reaction.Do not let people fool you.You can control how you react..Let us use an example......You are having breakfast with your family.Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee Onto your business suit.You have no control over what has just happened.What happens next will be determined by how you react.You curse.You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.She breaks down in tears.After scolding her, you turn to your wife and you criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table.
A short verbal follows.You storm upstairs and change your shirt.Back down stairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish her breakfast and getting ready to go to school..She misses the bus.Your spouse must leave immeadiately for work.You rush to the car and drive you daughter to school.Because you are late, you drive 40 miles per hour in a 30 miles per hour limit zone..After a 15 minute delay and throwing a $60.00 traffic fine away, you arrive at school.Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye..After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you realize you forgot your briefcase.
Your day has started terrible.As it continues, it seems to get worse.You look forward to coming home.When you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your wife and daughter.....WHY? Because of how you reacted in the morning...Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it? B) Did your daughter cause it? C) Did the policeman cause it? D) Did you cause it?....The answer is "D" You had no control over what happened with the coffee.How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused you bad day....Here is what could have and should have happened...Coffee splashes over you.Your daughter is about to cry.You gently say: "It's okay, honey, you just need to be more careful next time".Grabbing a towel you go upstairs and change your shirt.You grab your briefcase, and you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus..She turns and waves.You arrive 5 minutes early a cheerfully greet the staff.
Two different scenarios.Both started the same time.Both ended different....WHY? Because of how you reacted..You really have no control over 10% of what happens in your life.The other 90% was determined by your reaction.....Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle, if someone says something negative about you, do not be a sponge.Let the attack roll off like water on glass.You do not have to let the negative comments affect you..React properly and it will not ruin your day....The 90/10 principle is incredible.Very few know and apply this principle...The results? You will see it yourself!! Millons of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and headaches.We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle..It can change your life! Enjoy it.
It only takes willpower to give ourslves permission to make the experience.Absolutely everything we do, give, say, or even think, its like Boomerang.It will come back to us.If we want to receive, we need to learn to give first.....Maybe we will end with our hands empty, but our heart will be filled with love.....And those who love life, have that feeling marked in thier heart....A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, or getting stressed out....How do you react if someone cuts you off in the traffic? Do you lose your temper? pound on the steering wheel? Do you curse? Does you blood pressure skyrocket? Who cares if you arrive 10 seconds at work? Why let the cars ruin you drive?....Remember the 90/10 principle and don't worry about it.
You are told you lost your job.Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out.Use you worrying energy and time to find a new job..The plane is late.It is going to mangle your schedule for the day.Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control what is going on..Use your time to study, get to know other passenger, why stress out? It will just make things worse.....Now you know the 90/10 principle.Apply it and you will be amazed at the results...You will lose nothing if you try it.
Maybe God want us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right person, so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift..When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has opened for us.
Is it true that we don't know what we've got, until we lose it, but it also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives..Giving someone all your love is not assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in thier heart, but if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone! Don't go for looks, they can deceive, Don't go for wealth, even that fades away..Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes a smile to make a stressful day seem bright..Find the one that makes your heart smile.
I dream what i want to dream, go where i want to go, be what i want to be, because i only have one life and one chance to do what i want to do..Always put yourself in other peoples shoes, if you feel it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and end in tear! The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past you can't go on well with life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches..Happiness lies for those who cry, for those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched thier lives!!
