No One Can Hurt You Without Your Consent
It's not what people do or say to us that matters. We have no control over them. It's how we respond that matters. Learning to insert a pause between stimulus and response is one of many ways to start learning emotional intelligence skill. Hard as this may be, it is what many of us need to build a happy and long-lasting relationship that can withstand the test of time, at home, work or social life. As succinctly expressed by Viktor Emil Frankl, a Holocaust survivor: “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."
