“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.”

Carl Jung: “What is the next right thing?”

Be kind, don’t hurt living things,

Be comfortable in silence

“When we treat our internal ‘bad guys’ with respect, we get the data they are carrying without acting out the drama they are craving. That internal respect naturally flows outward because you are no longer projecting your own shadow onto everyone else.”

I came across a study by Ding Li about smiling:  ‘When our smiling muscles contract, they fire a signal back to the brain, stimulating our reward system, and further increasing our level of happy hormones, or endorphins. In short, when our brain feels happy, we smile; when we smile, our brain feels happier. Fake it till you make it!’

There is power in a smile. you smile at someone, they smile back. Boom – a connection!
