The stimulus in this discussion is from the outside. The response(s) is our thoughts, and also our feelings. Through our thoughts, we exert influence on our feelings. Reply

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.

The stimulus is the thought. The space is our feelings and what they make us believe. The response is the action based on those feelings and beliefs.
