In the space between stimulus (what happens) and how we respond, lies our freedom to choose. Ultimately, this power to choose is what defines us as human beings.

It is the choice of acting or being acted upon. - Stephen Covey
Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us. - Stephen Covey
