Logotherapy to Spread Freedom
Logotherapy guides one to find their purpose and meaning in their lives. This meaning differs by individual and can change from hour to hour.
Meaning can be found in even the smallest of details. So, don’t spend all your waking hours searching for an all-encompassing meaning of life. Instead, search for meaning in everyday tasks and in the relationships you have with your friends and family.
It does not matter what life throws at you. What truly matters is how you choose to handle these situations.
Everyone must find unique meaning in their lives and then go out and fulfill it.
