Worth the wait
If you haven’t read Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning — do it. It is a must-read for any human.
I have read it a handful of times, and will most certainly read it again, not because I particularly enjoy reading about the Holocaust, but because every single time I read this book I take away something new and I always walk away more energized to take my life by the horns.
I remember to live into the life I imagine; to tackle life with perseverance and take action towards my preferred future — despite circumstances.
Frankl endured the worst of the worst of circumstances, but rather than becoming a victim of circumstance and slave to his past, he went on to do great things and to help others through their own suffering.
I came across one of Frankl’s famous quotes the other day, and it stayed with me:
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 our freedom. — Viktor E. Frankl, neurologist, psychiatrist, philosopher, author, and Holocaust survivor.
