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
Between Stimulus and Response
To Be Silent the Whole Day Long
To be silent the whole day long, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to no gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself.
~ Henry Miller
We Can Complain Because
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.
~ Alphonse Karr
Some People Could be Given
Some people could be given an entire field of roses, and only see the thorns in it. Others could be given a single weed and see the wildflower in it. Perception is a key component to gratitude. And gratitude is a key component to joy.
~ Amy Weatherly
When Someone says, “After All I’ve Done for You…”
When someone says, “After all I’ve done for you…”
They are revealing that what they did for you was not for you at all, but for their own need to control you. Their generosity was just a contract with hidden terms of compliance. Breach that contract and you become the problem.
~ Wade Mullen
