“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.” – Anonymous In this episode, I dive deeper into one of our favorite quotes: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space.In that space is our power to choose our response.And in our response lies our growth and our freedom.” While trying to clarify the true source of this powerful quote, I delve into its meaning.
