Three sources of meaning: what you create, what you experience, and the attitude you take toward unavoidable suffering.
Between stimulus and response there is a space, and in that space is your freedom.
Happiness cannot be pursued directly; it ensues from meaning.
Write one sentence for each of Frankl's three sources: something you make, something you love, and a stance you take toward something hard.
What you create, what you experience, and how you face what you cannot change.
Use it when
Life feels pointless or you are enduring something hard.
