80/20

80/20....

What is that about? I recently learned a new concept, a new way of looking at life, a new perspective.

The 80/20 concept is simply this:

Our expectations are RARELY met in 100% entirety. I will not speak for you- i'll just say that my expectations have never ever been met 100%. I'll say most times, 80% of what I expected to happen will happen, and 20% won't.

As humans, its part of our nature to focus on that 20%- we wonder why that 20% alluded us. Was there something we could have done differently? Could we have changed the outcome?

THEN I tend to plot and ploy new ways to obtain the 20% I didn't get. ALL THE WHILE, there is a glorious 80% of blessings and favor that I am simply disregarding. This concept is similar to the glass being half-full or half-empty.

All i'm saying is this, I am resolving to appreciate the 80%'s in my life. I am a blessed person, with amazing true friends, a really fabulous family....the list goes on and on.

Who cares if I never get 100%? God always blesses us with good and perfect gifts. He knows exactly what I need, when I need it, and He always provides.

Try applying the 80/20 concept in your life. It's really cool to see how much of what we expect really DOES happen. It's also cool to see how the 20% we think we lack is normally a blessing in disguise.

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
