The Top Ways to Succeed in Man Search For Meaning


To ask what the true meaning of life is is somehow uncomfortable.

Life itself doesn't have a purpose; rather, we give life meaning by adding significance to it, which is akin to saying that we give life value. 

Sometimes, your place of existence determines the significance of your life; otherwise, there would be no point in living at all.


 we can discover this meaning in life
in different ways, But there are three different ways I will show you that work like a charm: 
 According to - VIKTOR E. FRANKL the Author of "MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING"


1. Making a work or performing an act is the first and most obvious technique to achieve something.

 The second and third need further elaboration.

 For example, doing work for free for others you're not just doing it for only them but for yourself and also giving your all because



2. encountering someone or having an experience;

The second way of finding meaning in life is

 by experiencing something - such as goodness, truth, and beauty -

 experiencing nature and culture or, last but not least, by experiencing another human being in his very uniqueness - by loving him.


3. Our perspective on unavoidable hardship.

The third way of finding meaning in life is by suffering.

We must never forget that we may also find meaning
in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation
when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what
then matters is to bear witness to the

 uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a
 triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement. 

When we are no longer able to change a situation - just think of an

 incurable diseases such as inoperable
 cancer. 

 we are challenged to change ourselves.

Let me cite a clear-cut example: Once, an

 elderly general practitioner consulted me

 because of his severe depression. He could
 not overcome the loss of his wife who had

 died two years before and whom he had

loved above all else. Now, how could I help him?

What should I tell him? Well, I refrained

 from telling him anything but instead

 confronted him with the question, "What would have happened, Doctor, if you

had died first, and your wife would have had to survive you?" "Oh," he said, "for her, this would have been terrible; how she

 would have suffered!" Whereupon I

replied, "You see, Doctor, such suffering has been spared her, and it was you who have

 spared her this suffering - to be sure, at the

the  price that now you have to survive and mourn her." He said no word but shook

my hand and calmly left my office. 

In some way, suffering ceases to be

 suffering the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.
