Choice - We Have The Power

Choice

The most powerful word in the human vocabulary is choice.
We have the power to choose anything in life.

Victor Frankl, a renowned Austrian Psychologist and the long-time prisoner in bestial concentration camps wrote a phenomenal book titled, “Man’s Search for Meaning.” In this book, Dr. Frankl speaks to the last of the human freedoms, our power to choose our response in any given situation. As he went through the torture of the prison camp, he envisioned lecturing to his college students. He says it is the last of the human freedoms, "our power to choose."

"As I am writing this book, I am learning that all I want to do with it is help someone to avoid the loss of their family. That love, that connection, so precious and rare, we MUST do whatever we must before it is too late. You don’t want to be in my place. And if you have been, you certainly don’t need to be back there again."

We have the power to own our part
We have the power to choose NOT  to be victims
We have the power to choose different, better
