Every stimulus prompts us to respond. This means there is space between stimulus and response. In this gap, we need will-power to choose how we respond:
Reply those that have insulted and criticized us or leave them with their opinions.
Go to the wine bar to spend that little saving on drinking or keep it for the next better expenditure.
Concede defeat when lost a poll / election or refusing to quit inspite of public rejection.
Choosing to feel sad and remain in low a spirit in blue days/when we're hurt, or rejoicing to shut the sorrow down.
We have freedom to choose a course of action, even in the face of ambiguities, complexities and difficulties.
Our growth lies in how we utilize opportunity cost: sacrifice and trade-offs.
