Excerpts📍📌 📍 Don't aim for success — the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued, it must ensue; and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. 📍 Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success; you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run I say success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it. 📍 Man is a creature that can get accustomed to anything, and I think that is the best definition of him.” “Whoever has experienced the power and the unrestrained ability to humiliate another human being automatically loses his own sensations. If someone now asked of us the truth of Dostoevsky's statement that flatly defines man as a being who can get used to anything, we would reply, "Yes, a man can get used to anything, but do not ask us how." 📍 There are things which must cause you to lose your reason or you have none to lose. An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior. The mental agony caused by the injustice; the unreasonableness of it all. 📍 I shall never forget how I was roused one night by the groans of a fellow prisoner, who threw himself about in his sleep, obviously having a horrible nightmare. Since I had always been especially sorry for people who suffered from fearful dreams or deliria, I wanted to wake the poor man. Suddenly, I drew back the hand which was ready to shake him, frightened at the thing I was about to do. At that moment I became intensely conscious of the fact, that no dream, no matter how horrible, could be as bad as the reality of the camp which surrounded us, and to which I was about to recall him. 📍 The truth is that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire. The salvation of man is through love and is in love. ~Viktor Frankl #mansearchformeaning #juveh https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbxXtmIjBW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
