Are you taking 100% responsibility for your life?
If you want to be successful, this is the most important success principle that you must learn and apply into your life.
Most people are not having what they want in their lives and they are living in mediocrity simply because they are not taking the responsibility for their lives.
Think about it, do you take 100% responsibility for your life?
Do you make any blame or give any excuse in your life?
Chances are, most people will either give excuse or blame other things.
In his book, The Success Principles, Jack Canfield says it very it is you who create your life.
Why is this success principle so important?
This is because if you believe that you are responsible for your life, that means you are creating the results you are getting. And if you are the one who is creating the results, you can always create or un-create them at will.
This clearly explains why successful people are able to produce amazing results in their lives while the ordinary people are just getting by.
Always remember this, never blame, never give excuse and take 100% responsibility for your life from now on.
Do you still remember the formula Event + Response = Outcome?
Let me show you the examples used in this Jack’s book…
Event : You’re given a $400 bonus
Response : You spend it on a night in the town
Outcome : You’re broke
————————————————————
Event : You’re given a $400 bonus
Response : You invest it into the mutual fund
Outcome : You have an increase net worth
Can you see the difference now? You cannot control the event, but you can always control your response to get the outcome that you want.
People don’t take responsibility for their lives because it is less risky in the short-term. However, over the long-term, the event may be disastrous.
You work late every night. you come home tired and burned out. You eat dinner in a coma and then sit down in front of the television to watch a baseball game. You’re too tired and stressed out to do anything else - like go for a walk or play with the kids. This goes on for years. Your wife asks you to talk to her. You say, “later!” Three years later, you come home to an empty house and a note she has left you and taken the kids.
Can you see it? You’re the one who created the outcomes in your life.
If you don’t spend time to train the dog, they will go wild and out of control. Guess what, you’re responsible for this.
Whenever you start to take 100% responsibility for your life, you can create the results you want and slowly, you will be living the life you want and making your dreams come true.
The Power Of Jack Canfield’s Success Principles
There was a time when Sir Jack Canfield was in a television show in Dallas, Texas, he made a claim that if people who would use the principles he taught, they could double their time and double their time off in 2 years.
And guess what, the woman who was interviewing Jack that time was skeptical about his bold claimed.
So Jack told the woman if she used his principles and techniques for 2 years and she did not double her income and double her time off, he would come back to the show and give the woman $1,000.
On the other hand, if the principles and techniques work, she had to ask him back and tell her viewers that it works.
What do you think had happened?
9 months later, Jack met the woman at National Speakers Association convention in Orlando, Florida. And that woman told him that she did not only doubled her income but she had also moved to a bigger station with a substantial pay increase, had started a public speaking career, and had already finished and sold a book, all in 9 short months!
What People Are Saying About The Success Principles
Whether you need just a gentle nudge or a hefty shove to climb the ladder of success, Jack Canfield says he’s the man to help you. Who am I to argue with the creator of the now iconic “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series? In addition to his record breaking series, Canfield lists some of America’s top corporations as clients, has a syndicated radio show and newspaper column. The ultimate? He’s been anointed by Oprah. Here’s a man who knows success, and he insists that all of us can, too.
Canfield’s steps for reaching the mountaintop? Take total charge of your life, decide exactly what you want and go for it, each day improve your knowledge and skills, manage time (there’s just so much, you know), and don’t settle for second best.
In addition, find someone who can help you achieve your goals, confront and get rid of what isn’t working for you, focus on yourself as a unique individual, don’t let others dictate who you are, trust yourself, and learn how to react to both adversity and triumph.
Listening to this audio you find yourself encouraged and energized. Who knows, we may surprise ourselves!

I have read many self help books, and opening this book, and reading the 6 pages of testimonials and quotes, many from renowned authors or business people forms the impression that this book is out of the ordinary.
This book is a great reference and an excellent teaching manual for either a relentless self improver, or aspiring life coach. In the first 20 pages alone is major information about discovering your life purpose. Everything else flows from having a major definite purpose.
Taking 100% responsibility for what happens in your life, as opposed to blaming is also a very powerful concept.
I am also really liking the formula E + R =O. Event + response = Outcome. So, if you don’t like the outcome, change the response, or you will keep getting similar outcomes.
All these concepts are in the early part of the book, so you can probably imagine how much benefit can be derived from the remainder of this amazing book. More recently, I acquired the audio version of this book, which is narrated by Jack Canfield. If you like the book, you’ll like this too.

This book lit a fire under me. I’m only halfway through it, but I’m taking a look at what I really want in my life, making bi-weekly lists of goals, and finding I’m actually meeting them. Basically, this book is helping me to mentally settle down and take a good hard look at my life and where I want to be. It’s helping me see that anything is possible if I’m willing to believe and work for it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who’s feeling lost right now — not sure where to go in life but not being happy where you are now.

So do you think Jack’s principles and techniques are going to help you in achieving what you want?
I’ll leave this question for you to think about it.
What I think is, the principles will work for you if you work the principles. Knowledge itself is just a form of potential power. The real power is in applying the knowledge that you know.
