Positive Reflection For The Day
A fundamental principle of successful living is : Event + Response = Outcome. It may require some adjustments to our beliefs and changes to our daily behaviours. There are two kinds of outcomes. 'External outcomes'are all our relationships today – the result of all our responses yesterday. And then there are 'internal outcomes'which are our levels of self-esteem and self-confidence today, the result of all our yesterdays. When we realise that we are not getting the outcomes or the results we want, what do we try to change in the above principle? Unfortunately it's the event. And the event is always in the past, and it usually involves other people, both of which we can never change (the past and other people). In order to change the outcomes we need to change our responses. By including a few minutes of reflection or relaxation in our daily routine, we can empower ourself to do that.
