🤔 To react or respond? That is the question!
Both reacting and responding are totally and completely human actions.

The difference? Reacting traditionally involves feelings and memories and can be based more on past experiences than looking to the future.  Responding brings the process of weighing options into play, traditionally takes longer than reacting, and may be directed toward a future outcome.

Reacting is ideal for quick decisions like emergencies, playing sports, and jumping in to help without time to prepare. 
Responding is ideal for interpersonal decisions like giving or taking feedback, when you hope to achieve a specific purpose.

The KEY 🔐 to choosing?
