Acceptance is the first step to finding meaning from "summary" of Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor E Frankl

The fundamental truth is that acceptance is the initial stage in the journey of finding meaning. In the midst of suffering and hardship, one must first come to terms with their circumstances in order to begin the process of discovering purpose and significance. This acceptance does not imply resignation or passivity, but rather a willingness to acknowledge the reality of one's situation. By accepting the truth of their present reality, individuals can free themselves from the burden of denial or avoidance. This acceptance allows them to confront their circumstances with clarity and courage, enabling them to navigate the challenges they face with a sense of purpose and resilience. It is only through acceptance that one can begin to move forward and find meaning in the midst of adversity. Moreover, acceptance is not merely a passive state, but an active choice. It requires a conscious decision to embrace reality as it is, rather than as one wishes it to be. This choice empowers individuals to take ownership of their circumstances and to engage with life in a meaningful and purposeful way. In this sense, acceptance is the foundation upon which the search for meaning is built. Without acceptance, one remains stuck in a state of resistance or denial, unable to move forward or find significance in their experiences. Only by accepting the reality of one's circumstances can one begin to explore the deeper truths and values that give life meaning and purpose.
