In an age of quick takes and reactions flooding our social media feeds or everyday conversations, I think more of us can model taking a moment to pause and let things sink in before we act or react. Sometimes we will instantly weigh in because it’s an issue directly impacting us, while for others it’s about wanting to jump in on a topic, maybe hoping to get those sweet clicks, likes, shares or retweets. In my talks with men and young men, I sometimes share these words from Yung Pueblo: “ The pause before we act is the space where we reclaim our power.” These days, it feels like we can expect to instantly hear everyone’s spontaneous thoughts or reactions regarding a headline or situation. I always appreciate hearing a timely quote during a speech.
