"Entre el estímulo y la respuesta, hay un espacio. En ese espacio reside nuestra libertad y poder para elegir nuestra respuesta. En nuestra respuesta reside nuestro crecimiento y nuestra libertad."
— Stephen Covey

Simplified Meaning:
When something happens to us, like when someone says something mean, there's a moment before we react. In that moment, we have the chance to decide how we want to respond. This moment is important because it gives us control over what we do next. For example, if someone insults you, instead of getting angry right away, you can take a second to think and choose to stay calm. By choosing your response wisely, you become stronger and more independent because you are not letting others control how you feel or act. Using that brief moment to make thoughtful choices can lead to personal growth and a sense of freedom in your life.
