Feeling Overwhelmed? Discover How the 90/10 Principle Can Change Your Perspective

Dear All,

We all get a little low at times and then feel life is too much. Even wise people have such low tides, and even the Saints experience what is known as the 'Dark Night of the Soul'. The difference is that while it is just moodiness for ordinary individuals, for the enlightened, it is the game of hide-and-seek the Divine plays with them. Besides, it is selfish to run away from life like that. Everyone has problems; it is how we look at and treat them.

The 90/10 Principle

Here is a principle of 90/10 that will enable you to understand that 10% of life is made up of what happens to you, and 90% of life is decided by how you react.

It's an old but felt most important concept.

Thanks & Regards,
Swathi Chityala

Really wonderful post. Thanks for sharing. What you have mentioned is totally true; we tend to always highlight the 10% of our life and forget the rest. It's good that we are made to realize that the switch and the control are in our hands. Expecting a lot more. Keep up your good work.

Have a blessed day.

Dear Swathi,

Nice post. I agree that it is human nature to have the urge to receive appreciation. However, I would suggest, politely, that at individual stages of our respective lives, we should have the courtesy to at least mention the author of the content we post, as it is one of the basic necessary qualities to reach heights in our lives. This concept and the entire PowerPoint presentation are authored by Stephen Covey.

Do not get offended; we are all here for mutual growth. Just an honest opinion.

Love & gratitude,

Though Kirtan has put across his view, his words don't sound polite; rather, they sound harsh. In the entire thread, nowhere has Swati mentioned that it's her creation. She has clearly stated that it's an old principle, which implies it's not her creation. I agree with the point that she should have mentioned the author's name, but it's human to forget. Please don't take it otherwise; I just wanted to express my view on the above comments.
