Meaning you are 100% responsible for your life and the outcome of every situation in your life. A concept I truly believe, but struggle to apply it to 100% of my life.
I hope that's not what he means, as there are not just two players involved in your life. It is a complex web, a lot of which is outside your control. This formula seems like a recipe for a lot of self hatred when life doesn't end up how you wanted through no fault of your own.
At a minimum, the person triggering the event, will react to your reaction and so on.
I think it would be better to say that all you have control over ultimately is your reactions and actions. But that hardly leads to a desired outcome.
Otherwise, we'd just manipulate ourselves into getting what we wanted, except that it often conflicts with other people are trying to manipulate to get what they want.
Just saying.
