Willpower

Freedom is the capacity to pause in the face of stimuli, and from that pause, throw one’s weight toward this response rather than that one.

— Rollo May

Why this matters:

Freedom is the capacity to pause in the face of stimuli, and from that pause, throw one’s weight toward this response rather than that one. Willpower is found in the micro-second between an impulse and an action. If we can expand that gap, we gain the ability to act on our values rather than our instincts.
