Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
Viktor E. Frankl
This quote has been an important one for me .It has helped me consolidate everything I have learnt about how we really have the power to choose the way we respond to anything that happens to us .It has been a long time since I have been angry or upset in a significant way . This is not about anger management , but about how we actually respond in the first place. I did a short course on meditation and an introduction to Buddhism , and suddenly everything made sense . Everything I knew about cognitive psychology was already described more than 2500 years ago .Human nature has not changed .....we dont have to deal with new models every year !
