A pause can stop the sting of an angry, damaging remark, one breath to think before you speak can tame a vicious bark. In the space between what’s happening and how you then respond, lies the choice of your behaviour and then that moment's gone. "Pause, breathe, seek presence, speak"... use this as a tool. The gap before reaction holds the truth of your control, the rudder of your destiny, the pilot of your soul.
