It's my pleasure to try and make a valuable comment on your posts, they deserve as much!

.. following this model, the 40% is all about being proactive. So, yes, if one just remains within the pain without engaging with no intentional activity at all, the 40% becomes 'inactive' and 'overpowered' by the life circumstance (10%).

This helps me understand that the 40% in the model can be flexible and vary for person to person, and I've certainly felt this is the case looking at the people around me.

We just need to understand that no one else is responsible for our own , mental and subjective well-being :)

Responsible, no, but perhaps some (myself included) seems to let others have an impact on it more than others?

Thanks again for motivating our brains to think!

Yet another good point here, which I agree with. And this is when factors such as personality come into play! :)
