You react, they react, you react more, they react more and faster, there is war, so Karma has no end to reacting.

Eliminate the reaction from your life. 

Every reaction is the creation of karma and we human beings don’t realize it.  We are Karma creation machines.  The reaction is karma, the response is freedom, from where you react, karma is created, if you respond, karma is not created.  You have to understand that, you don’t have to react. 

What are we going to do, am I going to react every time someone says something to me, am I going to be tied up there, am I going to be obliged?

Create a space to respond, rather than react. 

There is a space between the stimulus and the response, how big that space is, it is where your ability to respond resides, when this space does not exist, there is reaction, when this space is wide (taking into account the last responsible moment) there is freedom of choice and responsibility is created for side effects.

Reaction is based on moods, feelings, and external circumstances, it is a common practice.

Pausing and responding based on values, principles, and purpose empowers you.

To do this, we must create space between the stimulus and the response, draw on our self-knowledge, imagination, awareness, independent will, and our responsibility of our next steps.

In a situation that becomes difficult, that escalates in a second, we have to pause and choose a proactive response, for which we have to think about our gifts and our internal resources first, let’s decide on a proactive response, which is also based on our purpose, on our freedom to choose, on our responsibility, on our circle of influence if necessary.

The key is to behave as if we have full faith, give everything so we have and take action. What would we do if we knew our efforts were successful? How would we proceed? Would we write a book? Would we create a business?

There is no need to eliminate doubt to ignore it for the moment. Let’s leave it there, uninfluenced, while we produce a remarkable set of results acting as if our success is certain.

Instead of letting doubt decide what you will do, decide what you are going to do with your doubt.
