Selftranscendence is a path to fulfillment from "summary" of Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor E Frankl
In the midst of unimaginable suffering and despair, I witnessed a profound truth: those who were able to rise above their circumstances and find meaning in their suffering were the ones who were truly fulfilled. Selftranscendence, the act of looking beyond oneself and finding purpose in serving others or a higher cause, was the key to enduring even the most unbearable conditions.
When faced with the choice between succumbing to despair or finding a reason to keep going, those who chose selftranscendence were able to tap into a source of inner strength that sustained them through the darkest of times. By shifting their focus from their own suffering to the needs of others, they were able to transcend their own pain and find a sense of purpose that gave their lives meaning.
In serving a cause greater than themselves, whether it be helping a fellow prisoner or holding onto hope for a better future, they were able to find a sense of fulfillment that went beyond mere survival. This act of selftranscendence not only helped them endure their suffering but also gave them a reason to keep living, even when all seemed lost.
In choosing to look beyond themselves and find meaning in their suffering, these individuals were able to unlock a sense of fulfillment that sustained them through even the most challenging of circumstances. Selftranscendence allowed them to rise above their own pain and connect with something greater than themselves, whether it be a sense of duty to their fellow human beings or a belief in a higher power.
Through acts of kindness, compassion, and selflessness, they were able to find a sense of purpose that brought meaning to their lives and allowed them to transcend their own suffering. In embracing selftranscendence as a path to fulfillment, they discovered a resilience that enabled them to endure even the most unimaginable of hardships. It was through this act of looking beyond themselves that they were able to find true fulfillment in the midst of suffering.
