There is a connection between hope and peace. Hope makes peace possible. Hope makes room for the soul to breathe. We can be at peace because we know that there in every moment of life we always have options. Viktor Frankl expressed this opportunity by reminding us that "Between stimulus and response there is space."  He emphasized the importance of the pause that allows us to choose our reactions, highlighting our capacity for personal growth and freedom. Think of a time when you chose to stop and think, instead of just react. What is there to learn from this experience? How did the experience feel in terms of hope and peace?
