In that first hardly noticed moment in which you wake,
coming back to this life from the other
more secret, moveable and frighteningly honest world
where everything began,
there is a small opening into the new day
which closes the moment you begin your plans.
Freedom by Victor Frankl
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms—
to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
Related to that wisdom is this:
- 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.
