Event + Response = Outcome: fundamental principle of successful living

A fundamental principle of successful living is : Event + Response = Outcome. It may require some adjustments to our beliefs and changes to our daily behaviours. 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.
