“All of our emotions are helpful … When we push aside our difficult emotions, we don’t develop the skills to deal with the world as it is. Instead we try to deal with a world that we wish could be.” -Dr. Susan David
“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.” -Viktor Frankl
