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.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.
Despair is suffering without meaning.
Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue.
Pain is only bearable if we know it will end, not if we deny it exists.
The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose ones attitude in any given circumstance.
