    Gentle Progress: Rethinking Resolutions

    Best quote from Gentle Progress: Rethinking Resolutions

    “

    The space between stimulus and response is where choice lives. When we work with our humanity instead of against it, change doesn't have to be a painful, white-knuckle experience; it can feel like coming home to yourself.

    ”
