Choosing one's response from "summary" of Yes to Life by Viktor E. Frankl
In life, we are often faced with situations that are beyond our control. These situations can cause us great pain and suffering, leaving us feeling helpless and defeated. However, while we may not be able to control the external circumstances that we encounter, we always have the power to choose how we respond to them. This power to choose our response is what ultimately determines our fate and shapes our destiny. When faced with adversity, we can choose to react with bitterness, resentment, and anger. We can allow ourselves to be consumed by negative emotions, leading us down a path of despair and hopelessness. Alternatively, we can choose to respond with courage, resilience, and grace. We can maintain a positive attitude and outlook, finding strength and meaning in even the most challenging of situations. This choice to respond with positivity and optimism can transform our suffering into growth and our pain into purpose. By choosing our response, we take back control of our lives and refuse to be victims of circumstances. We recognize that while we may not be able to change what happens to us, we can always change how we react to it. This power to choose our response is what sets us apart as human beings and gives us the ability to rise above our circumstances. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we still have the power to choose light over darkness, hope over despair, and love over hate. In the face of adversity, we must remember that we are not defined by our circumstances, but by how we choose to respond to them. Our response is a reflection of our character, values, and beliefs. It is a testament to our inner strength, resilience, and humanity. By choosing to respond with grace and dignity, we not only honor ourselves but also inspire others to do the same. We show the world that even in the midst of suffering, there is always a choice to be made – a choice to say yes to life.
