Assume 100 Percent Responsibility For Your Life
- Jack Canfield's number one success principle is to assume 100% responsibility for your life.
- Canfield insists you stop looking outside yourself for answers and own the quality of your results entirely.
Apply The E Plus R Equals O Formula
- Use the formula E + R = O to separate events from outcomes and reclaim choice over results.
- Treat events as neutral and deliberately choose responses because your response determines the outcome.
LA Earthquake Commute Showed Two Responses
- After the 1994 LA earthquake, commuters reacted differently: one complained, another used delays to study Spanish and enjoyed the day.
- Canfield uses this contrast to show identical events yield different outcomes based on response.
