Event + Response = Outcome

"When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world." ~ Anonymous

E + R = O
Event + Response = Outcome

We may not be able to control the Events that happen in our lives. However, we can control our Response to these Events. Our Choice of Response determines the Outcome. Instead of looking for someone else to blame whenever a problem occurs, focus on what you can do to co-create the outcome you want.

"Be the change that you want to see in the world."
~ Mahatma Gandhi
