There is a space between stimulus and response

“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 Frankl

The easy way is to just blame others or circumstances when things don’t work out. This causes great suffering and unhappiness. 

Many of the unexpected bad things that happen to us are outside of our control. It’s empowering once we realise that what we can control is how we respond to them.

Stop being reactive. Don’t play the victim. 

Create the space for a new perspective and release yourself from the negative story. Choose a positive response.

This is freedom.
