“Between the stimulus and response, there is a space. And in that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
(Attributed to) Viktor Frankl
As the above profound quote shows, freedom lies in our ability to make our own choices about the actions we take.
The truth is that we are responsible for our own actions.
We already choose how we react or respond to any stimulus; those actions, whether reaction or response, will be based on our individual belief system that manifests as our thoughts.
And our individual belief system, until we understand that we can change it, is often the result of our conditioning through the indoctrination we are subjected to throughout our childhood, mainly via the ‘education system’; a system that disempowers us. But whatever its source, that conditioning is not permanent.
Most of us are aware of the power of ‘positive thinking’, but thinking alone is insufficient; we have to take actions based on our positive thoughts.
True empowerment lies in understanding who we are and finding the courage to accept the challenge of ‘being the change you wish to see in the world’, as I discussed in my previous article.
This challenge is often referred to as “the hero’s journey”.

Good quote, but it helps to know that Frankl was not honest about his situation. He didn't stay in the camps. He was recruited to study suicidal Jews. He also ran experiments on them 😢

I'd love to do the workshop yet I'm in Australia and it would be 4am, a bit early for me! Could I sign up then see the recording after?
