80 20 Rule

What Is The 80 20 Rule? Find out here...

The 80 20 Rule.

The 80 / 20 rule is incredible! It states: The rule of thumb is that in many instances 80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes.

Very few people know and apply this secret. The result? Millions of people are suffering undeserved stress, trials, problems, and heartache. They never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. Theirs is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time, anger breaks friendships, and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest.. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged. You can be different!. Understand and apply the 80/20 rule. It will change your life!

What is this secret? 20% of life is made up of what happens to you. 80% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 20% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane may be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 20%.

The other 80% is different. You determine the other 80%! How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you, YOU can control how you react! Let's use an example.

You're eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the coffee cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup to close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit zone. After a 15 minute delay and throwing $60 (traffic fine) away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs to the building without saying good-bye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase.

Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to going home. When you arrive home you find a small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter. Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?

A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the Policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say "It's OK honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase. You come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You and your spouse kiss before you both go to work. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good of day you are having. Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 20% of what happens. The other 80% is determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 80/20 rule.

If someone says something negative about you, do not be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You do not have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out, etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you loose your temper? Pound the steering wheel? (A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off!) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the blue car ruin your drive. Remember the 80-20 rule, and do not worry about it!

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep or get irritated? It will work out. Use your "worrying" energy and time into finding another job. The plane is late. It is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, to get to know the other passengers, etc. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. You now know the 80-20 secret. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results!!!

... its fantastic. Got a lot of guidance from it. This really hit home for me, and I am going to try some of your suggestions. So already its having a positive effect. Thanks. You've already changed my life.

Hi Aymen

I must tell you, I read your book, and I've read many a metaphysical book, but your knowledge as expressed by you, made me feel your data is valuable information (MAYBE THE VERY BEST)... You have a way of clarifying that which you're teaching, making what is extremely difficult (spiritual awareness) understandable, clear to me the student...

I can't believe that I have been so blind, this is amazing information that's so easy to put into my life!

I didn't believe it at first. I was pretty stubborn and thought I knew how to handle my life but the part about getting rid of sexual thoughts intrigued me so I went ahead - It's the best thing I've ever done.

Aymen

I'm amazed at how much better I feel in comparison to the past few weeks.. I have managed my thoughts and emotions more effectively for the past few days, guided by the contents of your book.

Hello Aymen, Great book...

I just received the manual a few days ago. I must say I am very impressed! Everything is much clearer now for me and it is so well explained. Thank you for sharing this gift with us.

Just a quick note to say hello and thanks. I discovered I actually spent so much time fantasizing about sex, what a waste of energy. Now I focus on my wife and my business. The result is amazing.

Thanks for this opportunity. May God keep your work going forth.

...Reading and re-reading the "thought" study has helped me.

I just wanted to say thank you I am so happy I found your site and read this book. It's the best self help book I've read!
