Watch and Widen that Space

 

Watch that Space

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Victor Frankl

Is it a thoughtful, conscious response? Or a unconscious reaction based on fear?  What is in that gap between stimulus and response or reaction? Can we consciously widen that precious space, and carefully monitor what is in it? Can we choose a peaceful, loving, or even joyous response over an initial feeling of fear, anger or grasping?  Ron Alexander

 

What a wise remarkable man!
