Victor Frankl is the author...
The Meaning of Life is his book...
recommended by a dear friend and the book is truly a work of art.
I hadn't thought about it in some time and then yesterday I saw a quote...
"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." VF
That is such a perfect way to capture the moment where HARMONY happens or doesn't happen...
WANT creates the right STIMULUS
WISHING does not
The RESPONSE must be the willingness to SEE and ACCEPT the absolute truth...
Because its in the absolute truth - the source of what can become our harmony...
THAT becomes our FREEDOM!
Disharmony is slavery.
Disharmony is oppression.
Disharmony is communism.
Disharmony is when your spirit fights your lack of freedom.
DISHARMONY is OPPRESSION of your BEING... of your BUSINESS... of your BEST self and your greatest SUCCESS.
So many people out of ignorance slice their lives of the lives of those around them moment by moment in the very subtle but absolute oppression of our soul that comes from disharmony.
I sat in a meeting yesterday with three passionate and committed men, who have a tremendous opportunity in front of them to change the course of a business, and ultimately their livelihoods... but the air was full of disharmony, wishing, and an unwillingness to embrace the absolute truth. I am confident that they will eventually navigate through the fog, and I will do whatever I can to help... but they don't see the fog... they just think that is the normal amount of visibility afforded in business.
HARMONY is THE SUNNIEST OF DAYS DESPITE THE WEATHER!
HARMONY is FREEDOM...
I need to go reread the book...
Slow DOWN time... and see that amazing space between STIMULUS and RESPONSE!
Yours in FREEDOM and HARMONY!
