Justin Bieber always asks What do you mean? |
I recently was introduced to Viktor E Frankl by Chip Gaines from Magnolia and fixer upper. My wife bought me the book Capital Gaines by Chip. When my wife buys me a book, I always read it. In Chip’s book, he talks about how he lost himself because everyone pulled him away from himself. He found his way back, and as you may have noticed, he is doing a lot with giving and service. I noticed he recently grew his hair long and then shaved it all off and donated his hair.In the book Capital Gaines, Chip talks about how the book Man’s search for meaning really helped him find himself and find the real meaning in his life. When I work with Value, I focus on three things. Character, Skills, and Vision. The main topic in the book Man’s search for meaning is Vision. |
Vision is so important. To have meaning, you must have a vision of anything going forward. If you get meaning from your skills, you could loose yourself by others using your skillsIf you get meaning through your character, you will only be how you are today, not how you will be in the future. using vision, you are able to see today, the past, and the future. If you frame your vision in a way that has value, you will have meaning everyday. (This really is awesome! Everyday you can decide to get up and say “This is going to be a great day!” It is not because of what you can do, it is not because of who you were yesterday, but it is because you have meaning in your life that gives you joy to get up and go. Jim Rohn has a quote that says “It’s not the wind, it’s the set of the sails that determines your direction” |

The book Man’s search for Meaning is about a man who was in a concentration camp. In the book, it describes the awful things that happened and how awful the conditions. Viktor Frankl was a Psychologist doctor and he watched, listened and learned about how the camps affected the people around him and himself. He found that some of the men like himself could still find joy in the inner self. A quote from the book says “ As the inner life of the prisoner tended to become more intense, he also experienced the beauty of art and nature as never before.Viktor Frankl comes up with a term he calls logotherapy. In comes from Greek word Logos which denotes meaning. Where as psychoanalysis focuses on who you are and what made you that way, logotherapy would be more about how you think and what you are doing? Both books Capital Gaines and Man’s search for Meaning are worth reading. from my perspective, they will help you become valuable by helping you improve your vision. Do you have vision? Most people do not have a vision of anything but conformity. I will leave you with this message today by Napoleon Hill. Napoleon Hill said there are only two types of men in this world. Men who can do what they are told and…Men who can do nothing else. |
