***************************************************************************
The last of the human freedoms is to chose one's attitude in any given set
of circumstances.
--Victor Frankl
***************************************************************************
Last week we celebrated the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
The significance of this event sent me to my bookshelf where I found Victor
Frankl's book, "Man's Search for Meaning".
As a psychiatrist and a perceived threat to the Nazi movement, Frankl was in
four death camps. His parents and all his family members died in those camps.
As leaders of people [and we all are], nearly every day hardship of some kind
comes our way. Sometimes our circumstances are dreadful. Frankl says we alone
can choose our attitude in response to any crisis. We can choose hope or
despair, rage or acceptance, kindness or cruelty.
As humans we have the freedom to carefully choose our response. A leaders we
also have the responsibility.
