Amen John! I am a big fan of this quote. I like to add my own little twist to it.
*"Between stimulus and response there is a space. *Viktor Frankl (or Rollo May, not quite sure - see quoteinvestigator.com*)* *Like every open space, there is an invitation. An invitation to choose from a place of fear or a place of love. Choose with care. - me* *In that space is our power to choose our response.* *In our response lies our growth and our freedom*.” On Sun, Mar 26, 2023 at 1:44 PM John Warinner via OSList < [email protected]> wrote: > "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 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Frankl> > > > *John Warinner*(541) 815-4103 > [email protected] <[email protected]> > > > On Sun, Mar 26, 2023 at 8:16 AM MCtheMC via OSList <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> You're absolutely right Harrison.
