Response–Ability

Between what happens to you and what you do — there is a space. That space is yours.

Jim Rohn broke the word apart, and the breakdown changes everything. Responsibility is not guilt. It’s not blame. It’s not a heaviness you carry for what already happened.

It’s response-ability — your ability to respond. To input. To information. To the things life throws at you that you didn’t ask for.

“Our ability to respond effectively in all situations is what defines our true responsibility — and it’s something we have to do for ourselves.”

— Sunny

Stimulus What shows up — chosen or not. The past, the message, the moment, the news.

The Space The pause where you decide. Most people don’t know it’s there. You will, by the end of this.

Response What you choose. The action. The architect at work.

You are not what happened. You are what you do with it next.
