I never thought that I will find what I was searching early this year [2012]. It is only the 17th day of this year and things are already looking interesting. In December of 2011, I set sail into a different dimension of my life. I was aware that I am in an interesting quest for the meaning of life in 2012. I’ve always wanted to know the meaning of everything including the small detail of “why things happen?”. For this year, life will be different. I’ve always known that there is a deeper meaning for everything that happens. If you are reading this journal, there’s a meaning/reason for it. Nothing happens without a purpose. No one will discover that purpose until you start looking for it. Okay, okay… I got you curious and nothing really implies here except that I am putting an anticipation to what I’m about to say or write. Last week, I’ve finished reading “Put Your Dream to the Test” and I was looking for a new book to read that is non-technical, non-software, non-Sharepoint, non-Microsoft and in my quest for the next book to read, I stumbled upon this book from a Russian Library – “Prisoners of our Thoughts Viktor Frankl’s Principles at Work” written by Alex Pattakos. I’m not going to go into details here of what the book is about. My job/purpose here is just to notify/relay to you that you really need to read this book and find out yourself what the “will to meaning” is.
So here’s your homework:
1. Google this “will to meaning”
2. Read
3. Understand
will to meaning
will to pleasure
will to power
