Please read, think about, and reread the following quotation by R.D Laing: "The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; Until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds." Philosopher William James said "when we change our thinking we change our lives" I also read these staggering sentences that had profound and truly life changing experience in my life: Between stimulus and response there is space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In those choices lie our growth and our happiness. The lesson is to ensure that there is longer space between the stimulus and the response. Hence I vow from here on to never get my bad side get the better of me, to be slow in my response, to avoid getting angry and to give unconditional love regardless of how others treat me. If anyone reads this please vow from today to make good on this promise and you will have a happier life.
