Dear Anita,

Thank you for your response. A nice conceptualization of a very complex phenomenon.

When I read what you had written about how you deal with fear. I was reminded of this quote from a book written by Stephen Covey –

“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.”

The space between stimulus and response seems narrow yet persistently reminding ourselves time and again that indeed there is a space helps.
