Past Perfect

Read a very inspiring passage from The 8th Habit of Highly Effective people.

It goes like this:

"This power of choice means that we are not merely a product of our past or of our genes;

we are not a product of how other people treat us. They unquestionably influence us,

but they do not determine us. We are self-determining through our choices. If we have

given away our present to the past, do we need to give away our future also?"

and another one:

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power

to choose our response. In those choices lie our growth and our happiness."

So true :)

Best,
