More quotes by Viktor E. Frankl
Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.
Viktor E. Frankl
It is this spiritual freedom - which cannot be taken away - that makes life meaningful and purposeful.
Viktor E. Frankl
I would say that our patients never really despair because of any suffering in itself! Instead, their despair stems in each instance from a doubt as to whether suffering is meaningful. Man is ready and willing to shoulder any suffering as soon and as long as he can see a meaning in it.
Viktor E. Frankl
Love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.
Viktor E. Frankl
It is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future.
Viktor E. Frankl
Success is total self-acceptance.
Viktor E. Frankl
Between stimulus and response is the freedom to choose.
Viktor E. Frankl
What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.
Viktor E. Frankl
We can discover this meaning in life in three different ways: 1. by doing a deed 2. by experiencing a value and 3. by suffering.
Viktor E. Frankl
View life as a series of movie frames, the ending and meaning may not be apparent until the very end of the movie, and yet, each of the hundreds of individual frames has meaning within the context of the whole movie.
Viktor E. Frankl
Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in its spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance.
Viktor E. Frankl
It is true that we can see the therapist as a technician only if we have first viewed the patient as some sort of machine.
Viktor E. Frankl
Life asks of every individual a contribution, and it is up to that individual to discover what it should be
Viktor E. Frankl
No one can take from us the ability to choose our attitudes toward the circumstances in which we find ourselves. This is the last of human freedoms.
Viktor E. Frankl
Every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.
Viktor E. Frankl
Each of us carries a unique spark of the divine, and each of us is also an inseparable part of the web of life.
Viktor E. Frankl
Happiness cannot be attained by wanting to be happy - it must come as the unintended consequence of working for a goal greater than oneself.
Viktor E. Frankl
There are two races of men in this world but only these two: the race of the decent man and the race of the indecent man.
Viktor E. Frankl
Pain is only bearable if we know it will end, not if we deny it exists.
Viktor E. Frankl
Sunday neurosis, that kind of depression which afflicts people who become aware of the lack of content in their lives when the rush of the busy week is over and the void within themselves becomes manifest.
Viktor E. Frankl
