260526 What I learned in my studies this morning 6

Today's Meditation(s):

Meditations, 10.30 (Hicks and Hicks)

Stop.

How many Stoic instructions begin with this simple step?

Stop! . . . before I harm my virtue.

Stop! . . . before I say that thing that can't be taken back.

Stop! . . . before I fuck it up.

Take the moment to pause.

Step back.

Look again.

What am I missing?

Find Frankl's space between the stimulus and response. Act, rather than react.

Here, it teaches me to be more forgiving and understanding, examining my glass house before I launch my stone.
