Whether it’s sports, business, or life in general, you often hear about the 80/20 rule.
The 80/20 rule means that 80% of the results come from 20% of the causes or efforts. The rule tells us that most of the good stuff comes from just a few important things we do or focus on.
In sports, you can change one thing about your game to make you a much better player. In business, a large portion of profits often comes from a small number of high-value customers or products.
We can apply the 80/20 rule to just about anything in life. It’s important to apply it to life in general and only focus on the things that we can control.
I think that 80% of the things that happen to us are out of our control, but that 20% of the things that we can control have a bigger impact on our lives. We can’t control things like unexpected health issues, natural disasters, and other people’s actions. However, we can control our own actions, choices, attitudes, and how we respond to different situations.
Focus on those things. They may fall into the 20%, but controlling those things has a big impact on our lives.
No matter the situation, no matter what you’re trying to learn or do, or what you’re going through, focus on what you can actually control in life, or what you can contribute, or what small 20% change in life can have an 80% result.
Your big problems aren’t as big as you think. Your small actions matter much more than you think. It’s just something to think about when you’re trying to make small changes to your life for big results.
