Viktor Frankyl’s quote states: “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 that gap, which is usually tiny, there is enough room for one’s foot as well! Has that ever happened to you? You’ve heard something…
