How to Take Control of Every Situation

Wondering how to take control of every situation?

It’s a simple equation. When the stinky stuff hits the fan; when things aren’t going your way; and when the world is conspiring against you, remember this:

C + R = O
Circumstance + Response = Outcome

CIRCUMSTANCES swirling out of control will sneak up on us no matter how well we prepare. It’s this fact that spawned the popular saying among the military that, “No plan survives contact with the enemy.” When unexpected events occur, the only control we have is how we RESPOND.

In our moments of confusion, frustration, fear and doubt, it’s our response and actions that have the most direct and meaningful impact on the outcome of the situation.

So do you want to control the outcome of a strange or odd situation?

Control your response to it!

Have you ever witnessed a situation similar to that portrayed on the escalator in the video?

Have you experienced a surprising or seemingly uncontrollable situation where you consciously altered your response to better serve the outcome?
