The Meaningful Struggle

Why Victor Frankl’s book, ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ is a must-read

Grasping meaning is something I think the majority of us have struggled with at some point or another.

Even if you know what you enjoy doing, is it what you should be doing? Does it have a point? It’s kind of easy to get swept up into a sea of meaninglessness if you haven’t ever really defined it for yourself.

It was harrowing. I had to put it down multiple times to be able to cope and comprehend some of the images and scenes described.

As I read it the skies outside my window echoed the greyness described and I felt this wash of appreciation course through me when I saw the beautiful colors in my own room.

This feeling and the book as a whole were so powerful that immediately I understand why so many people talk with reverence about this book. Why it really does make a difference to your life and how it helps you define or see the potential for where meaning lies.

This book is a call to responsibility, to search our souls and see the meaning in our own lives no matter the circumstances.

To understand that the meaning in one’s life can change and come through different things; through work, through love, through our attitude to suffering.

To try and reach for a higher state of being where we are not just simply being but actualizing our full potentials and living our highest good.

It is beyond worth reading for so many reasons.
