The Simple 3-Letter Formula That Changed My Life

Warning: this article may change your life

I had a major shift in my thinking in my late 30s.

When I look back over my life, I can pinpoint certain times when things changed drastically for me, and usually, it was because I was trying to overcome a major difficulty.

When I stumbled upon this simple formula, life was going well, but it opened my eyes to a new way of looking at hardships — which all of us have.

Event+Response=Outcome.

When I was younger, I bought into the illusion that I was a victim of life’s events. I had no control over them, so what was the point in trying to change them?

There was nothing I could do but keep surviving them — just like everyone else.

I saw this formula in Jack Canfield’s book “The Success Principles,” and I haven’t looked at life the same way since.
