BRX Pro Tip: Take a Breath
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, today’s counsel, take a breath.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:08] Yeah. A lot of people react impulsively when something happens and I think that, especially as you get older, you realize that when you’re angry or you’re frustrated, the best move to make is to wait a beat, to take a breath, and then decide what you should do, and then react.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:27] One of my favorite books is Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search For Meaning. And one of his famous quotes within that book is, “Between stimulus and response there is a space, and in that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” And what that means is, you don’t have to act impulsively. You have more power than you think, especially in those highly charged moments. Really, in any circumstance, you have the power to choose what the next move is that you are going to make, and just remember to choose wisely.
