Success Is Total Self-acceptance.

A Man's Concern, Even His Despair, Over The Worthwhileness Of Life Is An Existential Distress But By No Means A Mental Disease.

The Struggle For Existence Is A Struggle 'for' Something; It Is Purposeful And Only In So Being Is It Meaningful And Able To Bring Meaning Into Life.

I Would Say That Our Patients Never Really Despair Because Of Any Suffering In Itself! Instead, Their Despair Stems In Each Instance From A Doubt As To Whether Suffering Is Meaningful. Man Is Ready And Willing To Shoulder Any Suffering As Soon And As Long As He Can See A Meaning In It.

Instead Of Possibilities, I Have Realities In My Past, Not Only The Reality Of Work Done And Of Love Loved, But Of Sufferings Bravely Suffered. These Sufferings Are Even The Things Of Which I Am Most Proud, Though These Are Things Which Cannot Inspire Envy.

...to Think Of Ourselves As Those Who Were Being Questioned By Life-daily And Hourly. Our Answer Must Consist, Not In Talk And Meditation, But In Right Action And In Right Conduct.
