#31. Choose Your Response
“All change happens with a choice.” — Tony Robbins
Don’t let other people push your buttons.
Expand the space between the stimulus and the response.
Stephen Covey said it best:
“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. We may have limited choices but we can always choose. We can choose our thoughts, emotions, moods, our words, our actions; we can choose our values and live by principles. It is the choice of acting or being acted upon.”As one of my mentors puts it, “You are the sum of your decisions.”
Exercise your choices.
When it comes to making big change and making big choices, put yourself into a position where failure is not an option.
Tony Robbins shares this advice:
“If you want to take the island – burn the friggin’ boats!”
