S02 E38 That Space

In our lives of all kinds, things and events happen. Events and things like rain, entertainment, laughter, relationships, coincidences, and surprises.Some we don’t even notice, like the smile of a store clerk as we buy that morning pastry.Some might catch our attention, like the report of a natural disaster in a faraway place. But, though it may be sad or shocking, it has very little direct impact on us.Or, we may learn of a life-threatening diagnosis for ourselves or a loved one. Which will undoubtedly change our lives.Events occur every day, in the life of every individual. So What?In being prepared for life we must begin with the one thing we can control, and that is ‘the person we are’. It Is A choice.Viktor Frankl said, “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”.
