Happiness cannot be pursued it must ensue.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Most important, however, is the third avenue to meaning in life: even the helpless victim of a hopeless situation, facing a fate he cannot change, may rise above himself, may grow beyond himself, and by so doing change himself. He may turn a personal tragedy into a triumph.

Everywhere man is confronted with fate , with a chance of achieving something through his own suffering.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Man is capable of changing the world for the better if possible, and of changing himself for the better if necessary.
Viktor E. Frankl

The last of human freedoms - the ability to chose one's attitude especially an attitude of gratitude in a given set of circumstances especially in difficult circumstances.
Viktor E. Frankl

It is not freedom from conditions, but it is freedom to take a stand toward the conditions.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Ironically enough, in the same way that fear brings to pass what one is afraid of, likewise a forced intention makes impossible what one forcibly wishes... Pleasure is, and must remain, a side-effect or by-product, and is destroyed and spoiled to the degree to which it is made a goal in itself.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Fear may come true that which one is afraid of.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Either belief in God is unconditional or it is no belief at all.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
If we take a man as he is, we make him worse, but if we take man as he should be we make him capable of becoming what he can be.
Viktor E. Frankl
Image
Woe to him who saw no more sense in his life, no aim, no purpose, and therefore no point in carrying on.

One can choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.
