Beautiful Summer Morning Inspirational Quote of the Day

Between stimulus and response, there is a space.

In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response.

In our response lies our growth and our happiness.

You have to read the book for a fuller explanation, but I also wrote an article about a similar subject. The Moment Between. You can find it at my website.

You have a space between and event and your response to it. That space may only be a flash of time, yet it does exist. In that moment you have an
opportunity to decide your response. That is the moment all programs designed to bring about self development and change, focus on, whether they do so consciously or not.

People talk about their worlds changing in a moment, a flash of insight,
a new idea, a sudden new awareness, they all take place in that space between.

This Tuesday, spend sometime learning to recognize that space and begin a powerful change in your own life.

Share the Moment
