I Mean It To Be

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” -Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search For Meaning

“Humans are creators of meaning, and finding deep meaning in our experiences is not just another name for spirituality but is also the very shape of human happiness.” -Richard Rohr, Falling Upward

“It is not in our control to have everything turn out exactly as we want, but it is in our control to control how we respond to what happens.” -Epictetus

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” -Alice Walker

For any event that occurs…

Not thinking, “It’s meant to be.” (Or “It’s not meant to be.”)

But rather, “I mean it to be.”

Don’t let fate or fortune rob you of your power to choose. YOU choose what any event means to you. And what actions you take after that event. That’s what having agency is all about.
