Hello and

in today's

in today's in today's we're going to talk about the number one idea that can change your life.

More to come on that in a moment.

First, let's settle in together with the sound of the bells. I'm excited about this episode because I'm going to share one of my favorite quotes with you and I strongly believe if we could capture

and understand and embody the wisdom of what this quote is pointing to.

It's one idea that could radically change your life, our lives.

So what is the quote?

Okay, it goes like this. Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space

is our power to choose our response, and in our response lies our growth, our freedom, and our

happiness. Between stimulus and response there is a space in that space is our power to choose our response and in

our response lies our growth, our freedom, and happiness. Let that sink in.

This quote is often attributed to Victor Frankel, but we actually don't know the root author.

It's really a conglomeration of Stephen Covey, Victor Frankl, Rallome, and even a few others, which I think makes it even more powerful because it shows that a lot of really smart, important people are talking about the same important idea.

And the reason I love this quote so much is because if I could encapsulate maybe in one sentence what it is,

I'm often trying to do as a teacher. It's really to help people start to see that space between stimulus and response and

inhabit that space between stimulus and response because it's only in that

space that we can lead our lives with

any sort of intentionality and purpose in alignment with the person we want to

be. The opposite of this is living on automatic pilot, just

going through the motions of our day. And have you ever had an experience like that?

You wake up in the morning, you go to bed bed and then it's just like what just happened the last 16 hours of my life
