Life is as you look at it. As Albert Einstein said There is only one question to answer: Is the Universe friendly?
E + R = O
Event + Response = Outcome (The success formula)
When people don’t like the outcomes they are experiencing, most choose to blame the event (E) for their lack of results (O).
In other words, you can blame the economy, the weather, the lack of money, lack of education, racism, gender bias, the current administration in India, your wife or husband, your boss’s attitude, the lack of support, and so on. If you’re a golfer, you’ve probably even blamed your clubs or the course you’ve played on – but never yourself. This is what most people do.
The deciding factor in success is not the external conditions and circumstances. It’s how you choose to respond (R).
What Successful People Do
Successful people take a different approach to events. They simply change their responses (R) to the events (E) until they get the outcomes (O) they want.
