Stimulus + Response =

Outcome

"Between stimulus and response is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In those choices lie our growth and our happiness. No matter what has happened, there is a space between those events and our responses to them. If there is even a fraction of a second between stimulus and response, that space represents our power to choose our response to any situation. The key is to enlarge our 'freedom to choose' space." — Steven Covey
