How the Mindset of Cause and Effect Impacts Each Day of Your Life
When you wake up each morning your mindset will either gravitate towards being a “cause” or being an “effect” of the day’s events. As you may remember from grade school, cause and effect represent the relationship between events. An event that is a cause dictates the outcome of an event that is an effect. To put it differently, the cause is the why and the effect is the what.
When you have a “cause” mindset you approach the day with the determination to make things happen. When you have an “effect” mindset you approach the day allowing things to happen to you.
A “cause” mindset requires intention, while a “effect” mindset is passive. This means that if you don’t make an intentional decision to make things happen each morning, then by default things you don’t control will just happen to you all day. As the old saying goes, if you aren’t making things happen, someone else is using you to make things happen for them.
