When I think about all of my hardships, such as a death of a
loved one, divorce, job loss, and betrayals it does make me realize that my
perception in each situation was foundational to my suffering and to my
recovery. When something is going wrong in my life today I always try to look
at the hardship in a way to try to understand what it is here to teach me. When
we can sit with the pain and suffering without trying to block it, in this raw
and vulnerable state, basically surrendering to it, I believe this mindset
allows us to free ourselves from its hold. When we fight it and react from our
emotions, we block any clarity that the hardship might be here to offer.
Viktor Frankl’s research and offering in the field of
psychology gives us the means to flip the switch in our minds in order to internally
compensate for any hardship we face by adjusting our thoughts to enable us to persevere
in spite of it all and grow because of it all.
Understanding the why of our suffering is big in our
recovery process. Viktor Frankl’s work gives us a lot to think about; he leaves
us with a pretty amazing legacy!
Are you in search of a meaning? Drop me a note and let’s
talk about it.
