Jack Canfield (of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" fame) discusses the concept of "response ability" as a practical and highly successful way to achieve favorable results, no matter what the event. He outlines the following
formula:
E + R = O
E = event, R = response and O = outcome
You usually have no control over an event, but you have the ability to control your response, and thus the outcome. This formula can be applied to virtually every situation in your personal and professional life.
By changing your response to a particular situation, you can change the result.
