Frankl reminds us to accept things that we can’t control. This lets us put energy into areas where we do have control.

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.

If you have a reason to live, you can handle almost anything. Understanding your personal “why” can give you strength when life gets tough.

Living honestly, based on your values, brings peace. Following your beliefs, even in hard times, helps you feel fulfilled.

We can’t control everything, but we can always choose our attitude. Even in hard times, we decide how we react, which gives us inner strength.

4. Freedom to Choose Our Attitude

Hope is powerful. Believing that things can get better can help us survive hard times. A hopeful attitude gives us energy to keep going.

10. Keep Hope Alive

We feel fulfilled when we focus on others. Helping people or working for a bigger cause can make life feel more meaningful.

When we find purpose in pain, it can help us grow. Suffering doesn’t feel as heavy if we know it has a reason or can teach us something.

3. Logotherapy: Finding Meaning Through Purpose

Why Knowing Your 'Why' Can Change Everything

A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that he and other inmates coped with the experience of being in Auschwitz. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Only those who allowed their inner hold on their moral and spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influence - while those who made a victory of those experiences turned them into an inner triumph. Frankl came to believe that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living.
