Even in the darkest times, Viktor Frankl reminds us: we still hold the power to choose our response.
“Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.” ~ Viktor E. Frankl
Viktor Frankl understood how everything can be stripped away from us. Frankl and his family were victims in the holocaust. He lost his family, but he survived to write about his experience in Auschwitz. One of the lessons he learned and teaches us is that regardless of our circumstances we always have the freedom to choose how we will respond to them. It is the one freedom no one can take from us. It is the one choice that is always ours. So today, whatever your circumstances choose to live. Choose to love. Choose to reject the impulse to be angry and revengeful.
