I’m reading a book right now that is absolutely riveting ! Viktor E. Frankl ( A Man’s Search For Meaning) Most people especially in todays generation have faint memories of the Holocaust that happened under the reign of Hitler in Germany during the second world war. The book is a must read for anyone who has ever surmounted any major adversities, illnesses or just needs some inspiration and meaning in life. Frankl’s words penetrate the soul as he uses the love for his wife that he had no idea on the whereabouts of her while he was in a concentration camp. He survived the Holocaust in due part to his faith and visualization of a life that many would find hard to even fathom during his moments of severe crisis. he lived a long life at that dying at the age of 92. It really shows through his powerful worlds how strong the mind is and where we can take our thoughts. The book was written in 9 consecutive days with such passion that he paints the pictures in your mind as if the reader is there. The thing we can all apply that Mr. Frankl did, is to use more faith and imagination to create what it is we want in our lives no matter where we are at any point of our lives.
Much Love, RJP.
We all need inspiration at times in our lives! I know I always look for inspirational books or videos to get me inspired and feeling on top of the world like I can tackle the highest mountain. Lately I’ve been on “inspirational overdrive” and it’s in due part to a 91 year old man that I met close to a month ago. I saw him trucking along the side of the street like a young man for a few weeks not losing a step in his stride walking his beautiful golden retriever dog looking like a man on a mission. Finally after seeing this man for a few weeks , getting some waves and always giving him a honk and a friendly wave, I stopped and said “how you doing young fella?” He stopped breathing profusely, almost disappointed he had to stop and say hello. But then a big ol smile radiated from a lit up face that I knew had to be at least 80 but he had the body of a 65 year old. I said to the man “You are my inspiration!, you’re proving to me even more that age is only a number!”
