Wise Powerful Purpose

More From Viktor E. Frankl

As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. no reality fits an ideology. life is beyond that. that is why people are always searching for a meaning to life. but life has no meaning; it cannot have meaning because meaning is a formula; meaning is something that makes sense to the mind. every time you make sense out of reality, you bump into something that destroys the sense you made . meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning.

Let us thank god for having made us this gift of death, so that life is to have meaning; of night, that day is to have meaning; silence, that speech is to have meaning; illness, that health is to have meaning; war, that peace is to have meaning. let us give thanks to him for having given us weariness and pain, so that rest and joy are to have meaning. let us give thanks to him, whose wisdom is infinite.

When i beheld you, suddenly - for perhaps a second - i had the strength to reject everything that wasn't you and to laugh at the illusion. but my shoulders are very frail. i was unable to bear the weight of the world's condemnation. and i began to hate you when everything about you would have kindled my love and when love would have made men's contempt unbearable, and their contempt would have made my love unbearable. the fact is, i hate you.

One of my optimistic prophecies is based on the assumption that machines could have the best algorithms in the universe, but it will never have purpose. and the problem for us to explain purpose to a machine is because we don't know what our purpose is. we have the purpose, but we still ... when we look at this global picture, a universal picture, to understand what is our purpose being here on this planet? we don't know.

If you come face to face with some really challenging situations and tragic circumstances - you are going in there with a purpose. you are not going in there as a tourist. you're not going there just to merely observe. you have a purpose, and your purpose is to tell that story, to share that story for the bigger benefit of millions of other people. your purpose is to create that bridge so you can give that story the dignity and the focus that it deserves, and you can become a part of the amplification that needs to be there.

I love coaching football, and winning a super bowl was a goal i've had for a long time. but it has never been my purpose in life. my purpose in life is simply to glorify god. we have to be careful that we don't let the pursuit of our life's goals, no matter how important they seem, cause us to lose sight of our purpose. i coach football. but the good i can do to glorify god along the way is my real purpose.
