“...Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”
~ Viktor Frankl, from Man's Search for Meaning
Viktor Frankl. What a man.
From his suffering in Nazi concentration camps, he forged his philosophy, “Logotherapy.”
The central tenet?
We are always free to choose how we respond to a challenge. We always have the freedom to decide what meaning we will give an event.
Whether or not you accept that response-ability is your call.
And your happiness and fulfillment completely depend on your decision.
Choose wisely.
“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”
~ Viktor Frankl, from Man's Search for Meaning
