Life comes at you fast.
A message. A comment. A challenge. An opportunity.
And before you know it—you’ve reacted.

But in that instant, you have a choice.

The Stoics practiced pausing—not as weakness, but as wisdom. They knew that even a small delay could mean the difference between regret and the right decision.

This medallion is designed to be your anchor in those moments.

As Victor Frankl once said: “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 freedom.”

This coin’s weight in your pocket is a signal: Stop. Think. Reflect.

Pausa et Reflecte.
Look inward.
Touch each letter of the alphabet.

Choose your response. Because a moment of reflection can save you from a lifetime of “I wish I hadn’t.”
