Food for Thought

Building Community Through Inspiration

We Choose

“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.“

Viktor Frankl

    Yes, agreed. A very powerful space lies between the two. A sanctuary to pause from mindless knee-jerk responses.

    Absolutely. It is in this space where we have the opportunity to step back and detach from (sophisticated) reptilian existence. It is here that our total freedom emerges by dismantling from our ingrained beliefs/reactions, so that Spirit can guide us from a fear-based existence to unbounded freedom and joy.

      Hi Sid! Wonderful to hear from you. Thanks so much for your very eloquent comment reinforcing the message of Viktor Frankl’s quote. No doubt you’ve found with experience, as I have, that there is great truth in this. Key is to remain vigilant and practice!

      With love,
      Marguerite
