The first law that authors Zaffron and Logan put forth is as follows:  

How people perform correlates to how situations occur to them.

The understanding of this single statement – or law, has the power to transform how you and I see the world. And begins to create the understanding for why we do what we do.  Why is it some people are highly successful, some organizations completely thrive while others don’t?  

It’s what Zaffron and Logan call the “default future.”  Until we change our future – profoundly impact our future. We continue to live towards our default.  We don’t see it any other way.

Has it ever occurred  to you that you would not fail in some pursuit? That you knew you would be wildly successful with what you have put your mind to.  If you’ve had either of these experiences, you DO things differently, don’t you?  If you are part of the camp that believes things won’t change at work or in life no matter what you do. Guess what, you create ACTION around that statement as well.  Your default future takes over and you begin to do those things to create that, rather than something drastically different. 

Cool thing is we get to choose.  Which do you choose?
