23 JUN 2022 · Story Essence: No matter how difficult a situation is, know it will pass. Everything changes. Really knowing that something painful will pass, deep in the very pores of your being, embracing this and taking it to heart, can profoundly change the way you experience difficult situations.
23 JUN 2022 · Story Essence: We can see in the story of Nelson Mandela that, if we have a why to live for, we can go through almost any circumstance that doesn’t kill us. Madiba is an example to all of us that no matter how hard things are, we can always find ways to create meaning and hope.
23 JUN 2022 · Story Essence: Viktor Frankl says life questions us about our meaning, which we can only know moment by moment as we are challenged by life. We are expected to respond responsibly to this challenge from life. We are required to answer the call.
23 JUN 2022 · Story Essence: The experience of love is essential to the quality of our lives. It is the appreciation of what is beautiful, authentic and genuine about another which gives meaning to our lives.
23 JUN 2022 · Story Essence: Viktor Frankl points here to the importance of projects, things we can still achieve, or creative values, in unfolding meaning in our lives.
1 JUL 2022 · Story Essence: It is extremely important to adjust your mind-set in circumstances that you can’t control. Instead of feeling that a situation is futile, you could turn it around and begin taking a different mind-set. Begin looking for how the situation can make you better. You’ll amaze yourself at how quickly you can transcend the futility purely through changing your mind-set.
16 JUL 2022 · Story Essence: Helen Keller’s life teaches us that the process of finding meaning in suffering does not lie in feeling like a victim of your fate. Instead, it comes from overcoming your suffering by reaching out and helping others.
4 AUG 2022 · Story Essence: Although we don’t have to suffer to learn, the only way to take advantage of suffering is to work out what it’s here to teach us. In the supreme difficulties of the concentration camps, Frankl rose to the challenge of his suffering by refusing to give up; he chose to grow, even through the suffering.
12 AUG 2022 · Story Essence: If life is something we can lose, what have we achieved with our lives? Did we discover our purpose, our calling? Did we break through the fog of our own fears and fulfil our reason for coming onto this Earth?
19 AUG 2022 · Story Essence: By realising how hard I was on myself, how I felt 100% responsible for the failure of my marriage, how I engaged in negative self-talk, berating myself in my inner dialogue, I was able to give myself the essential gift of self-compassion. Being harsh and demanding of ourselves makes life even more difficult than it already is. Instead, by freeing ourselves of the full responsibility that we often carry all too easily, we can give ourselves this essential kindness, a compassion for our own human frailty. We are just as we are. Embracing this is life-affirming.
