The Pause is the Power

People try to outrun their patterns.
They think if they stay busy, stay productive, stay “in motion,” they won’t have to feel the thing underneath.

But movement without direction is just a prettier loop.

The pause — the moment of stillness, of awareness — is where everything shifts.
Because it’s in the pause that you finally hear the script you’ve been living out.

It’s the first breath after truth.
The still space between impulse and action.

And yes — it can feel like death at first.
Because silence reveals what noise protects.

But it’s in that space that power begins.

So pause.
Not to wait.
But to listen.
To notice what’s trying to rise beneath the reaction.
That’s where clarity lives.
