The Stoics taught “You don’t control what happens, you control how you respond.”
This is easy to say, but not so easy for me to actually do. I am generally quick to respond, and not always in a good way. I wonder if our responses can become habitual, and run on a never ending loop?
If we always respond to A by doing B then we will inevitably end up with the same result.
What if we tried C or D instead of B. What if we intentionally chose how we wanted to respond? How different would our life be?
