Did you know you have the power to change your attitude and response, rather than react to things that happen around you and to you? Even when we are 50 60, 70, or 80 years old, we are still reacting to negative actions, words, and emotions the same way we have most of our lives. 

Are we allowing those re-actions to control us? Or, can we change our reaction?

In his book Man’s Search for Meaning, Dr. Viktor Frankl teaches:  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.

In our response lies our growth and our freedom!

When someone pushes your buttons, what happens?  Most often, you re-act, right? You say or do the same thing…over, and over, and over. 

  • You have the same arguments with your spouse.
  • Your children hurt your feelings and you cry or lash out with the same words.
  • Your friends “take advantage” of you, but you never say NO.

Choosing a different response requires being aware that our buttons have been pushed, and taking time (A Moment) to choose a new way to answer to the stimulus. 

Learn how to respond by creating A Moment; in the Moment is our power to choose our response.  In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
