Three Basic Principles on Discovering Meaning in Life

Meaning in life Will to meaning Freedom to will

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but
rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man
is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for
his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”
