As I walked with a friend this week, we found ourselves discussing what a positive frame of mind means ... regardless of current life conditions.
Victor Frankl, a survivor of the holocaust camps reflected on why some people survive, and even thrive, while others may perish.
What he discovered was that those who found meaning, even in the most dire conditions ...
1) had a service approach to life. They were more concerned about how to give to others in need rather than be consumed by their own lack.
2) had a deep sense of faith. When everyday madness doesn’t make sense, their belief in something greater outweighed the misery and struggle they faced on a daily basis.
3) had a sense of humor. Each and everyday they would gather to share stories and find the humor. Humor is the weapon of the soul to combat adversity.

What is your service approach to life?
How will your service honor your higher purpose in life?
How does your faith in something greater guide your life?
What can you laugh at today?
