Attitude




When I read a book called "A Man's Search For Meaning" a couple of months ago, a lot of what the writer said will stick with me forever because he impacted me. Now one aspect is the following:

"Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Viktor E. Frankl

This coming from a guy who survived the concentration camps, inspires me deeply. Because he was living example that no matter what's the situation or what is taken away from us (belongings, career, dignity, family, spouse...) we can chose our attitude, our perspective of seeing things... hope remains until we give it up.
