What is this principle?
10% of life is made up of whats happen to you.
90% of your life is decided by how you react.
What does this mean?
We really have NO control over 10% of what happens to us.
The other 90% is different.
You determine 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.
Lets us use an example.
You are having breakfast with your family.
Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt.
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 & you criticize her for placing the cup too the edge of the table.
A short verbal battle follows.
You storm upstairs & change your t-shirt.
Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish her breakfast & getting ready to school.
She misses the bus.
Your spouse must leave immediately for work.
You rush to the car & drive your daughter to the school.
Because you are late, you drive 40 miles per hour in a 30 mph speed limit zone.
After a 15 minute delay & throwing $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 relize you forgot your briefcase.
Your day has start terrible.
As it continues, it seem to get w0rse & worse.
You look forward to come home.
When you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your wife & 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 your bad day.
Here is what could have & should have happened.
Coffee splash over you.
Your daughter is about to cry.
You gently say...
" Its okay honey, you just need to be careful next time."
Grabbing a towel you go upstairs & change your shirt.
You grab your briefcase & you come back down in time to look through the window & see your child getting on the bus.
She turns & waves.
You arrive 5 minutes earlier a cheerfully greet the staff.
Notice the difference?
Two different scenarios.
Both start the same.
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.
Now you know the 90/10 principle.
Apply it & you will be amazed at the results.
You will lose nothing if you try it.
The 90/10 principle is incredible.
Very few know & apply this principle.
the result?
You will see it by yourself.
Millions of people suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems & headaches.
We all must understand & apply the 90/10 principle.
It can change your life.
Enjoy it.
It only takes willpower to give ourselves permission to make the experience.
Absolutely everything we do, give, say, or even think it's like a 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 their heart.
