September 30 — The Space Between
Listen to today's compass
Today, With Good Orderly Direction, I find the gap.
I do not collapse into the trigger.
I breathe in the space between stimulus and response.
I notice that the gap is where I actually live.
I return to the freedom that exists in the pause.
Between every trigger and every response, there is a gap. Most people never find it because they move too fast. Recovery slows you down enough to see it. That gap — that sliver of awareness between what happens to you and what you do about it — is where your entire freedom lives.
Today, I choose to inhabit the pause, knowing it is the most powerful place I can stand.
