Logotherapy - The Will to Meaning

The Will to Meaning is man's primary motivation. It is more powerful than the Will to Pleasure (Sigmund Freus) and the Will to Power(Alfred Adler & Friedrich Nietzche)
Man is born with the Defiant Power of The Human Spirit. Man is not delivered over; man is not the victim of physical limitations, his instincts, his genes or his enviroment. Man has the power to choose!
Man always has a choice - even if it is just the ability to choose his attitude towards circumstances, towards suffering, death and adversity.
Meaning is not only found in that which one does (in one's work, hobbies, commitment to a cause, etc.) but Meaning can be realised in that which we experience (e.g. in nature, in art, in relationships.)
Meaning can be realised through the attitude that we take in the apparently meaningless, tragic situations which cause unavoidable suffering!
Man can distance himself from himself, e.g. through humour, which can help man to break life patterns and change the course of his life.
Man is not determined by that what he was, by how and where he was born, but by his vision of the person he wants to be, how he wants to act!
So go out and be the person you always aspired to be! The world is your oyster!
