People tend to think E+R=O begins with choosing good responses rather than reacting to events. Obviously, that is crucial. But E+R=O always begins with how you see situations before how you respond to them.
Because your response is born from your perspective. Your response is born from what you think you are responding to. If you see something as a problem, you will treat it like a problem. If you see something as important, you will treat it as important. If you see yourself as a victim, you will respond like a victim. If you see yourself as responsible, you will respond with responsibility.
How you see, more than what you see, changes everything. You can see the same event a number of different ways. You can see a purposeful attack, an unintentional accident, or a playful challenge.
How you see it determines how you treat it. It’s up to you, if not what you see, how you see it.
Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
