Morning Inspiration · May 31, 2026
"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."— Viktor E. Frankl, Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, author of Man's Search for Meaning
Every morning is a reminder that we are never simply at the mercy of circumstances. Between what happens to us and how we act, there is always a pause — a moment of pure human agency. Frankl discovered this truth in the harshest conditions imaginable: that no force can take away the freedom to choose how we respond.
Start this Sunday with that awareness. Whatever comes your way today, you hold the space.
