Have you heard of the 90/10 Principle?
It says 10% is what happens to you. 90% is how you react.
You spill coffee. It hits your monitor, your table, your headphones, the floor.
Chaos in two seconds.
You stand there frozen. You want to scream. You want to cry.
But that spill? That is the 10%.
What you do next? That is the 90%.
You can let it ruin your morning.
Or you can grab a towel, clean up, laugh, and move on.
Life will always spill. Sometimes coffee, sometimes bigger things.
You cannot control the spills.
But you can control if you let them steal your peace.
The less you give power to the 10%, the stronger your 100% will feel.
