changing yourself

Viktor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist and an Auschwitz survivor. His writings focus on how we need higher purpose in our lives to be able to fully realize our potential and to to find freedom amidst whatever life throws at us. Although the adverse circumstances of my life have been nothing like a concentration camp, I have nevertheless struggled and felt suffering. We are human, after all, and that is part of our experience. And I have learned that my challenges point to all the places in me where I have blocked myself from my higher purpose. And so then I get to change myself.
