Response-Ability: The Ability to Respond by Marci Shimoff
“Our ability to respond to what happens to us--our response-ability--dramatically affects our happiness. The Happy 100 respond to the events in their lives in a way that supports their inner peace and well-being.” ~ Marci Shimoff from Happy for No Reason
There it is again. Response-ability. :)
As you know if you’ve read many of these Notes, we come back to this theme again and again and again (!).
Are you a big ball of stimulus-response knee jerk reflexes or are you developing your ability to consciously CHOOSE your response?
Our happiness depends on our ability to respond in a manner that supports our Highest Selves. So, let’s get *really* good at choosing wisely, eh?!? :)
