the 90/10 principle.
the following actually got sent to my OFFICE mail.
smth to think about - the 90/10 principle. it will change your life or at least your reaction to situations. why? it states that 10% of life is made up of what happens to you while 90% of life is decided by how you react (which i find is more than true - one bad reaction leads to another and by the end of the day u'll hav many enemies and a very bad day). lets say someone cuts you in traffic. you have no control over this. but you have control over your reaction. are you going to lose your temper? pound on the steering wheel? curse? let your blood pressure skyrocket? actually, WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? why let that car ruin your drive? very few know and apply this principle. the result? millions suffer from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. there never seem to be success in life. terrible things seem to be constantly happening. there is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. worry consumes time. anger breaks friendships. life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. friends are lost. life is a bore and often seems cruel...
i realised that i never really regret anything that has happened in my life. its not because i have done everything right or watsoever, or i wouldnt have liked to do anything differently, but because there were gd things that happened along the way and i wouldnt know if they would have happened still had i done smth differently. anw. its not like you can change your past. but u CAN alter ur perspective and memories of it. jus condition urself til even if things are really bad, u can somehow find something positive in it! n nope i never knew the 90/10 principle. think its jus cos i noe God will grant me the character, strength and serenity to thrust at me at every part of the way.
even now.
gosh. sometimes i wonder if this is all self-prep talk. hey but it works you know. your state of mind counts.
