React or Respond?
When our buttons are pressed, we often react. But we can, if we want, respond instead. Respond rather than react, to make a situation better and come out better off.
If you want to respond, pause before you react. Pause to understand, then calm your reaction and choose your response. Are you reacting or responding?
