“The things you are passionate about are not random, they are your calling.”
---- Fabienne Fredrickson (entrepreneur)

"Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her own life."
---- Viktor E. Frankl

“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.”

---- Viktor E. Frankl (Viktor Emil Frankl : 26 March 1905 – 2 September 1997) was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, philosopher, writer, & Holocaust survivor. He was the founder of logotherapy, a school of psychotherapy that describes a search for a life's meaning as the central human motivational force. Logotherapy is part of existential and humanistic psychology theories.)

Men Can Starve From A Lack Of Self-Realization As Much As They Can From A Lack Of Bread.
---- Richard Wright
