Now change it in your mind to, “the ability to respond”. It is a mere break up for the word, response + ability. While the dictionary meaning reinstates a stressful state of the mind, the other one can instil a sense of empowerment. It gives you the power to create a sense of ownership towards your task without the fear of it becoming a burden.
Now if you just glance around and take a look at any person you admire, you might see how they too employ the latter definition. This is one of the perspectives of some of the world’s highly regarded entrepreneurs.
