Three ways to find meaning

Where meaning can be found in any situation, including one you cannot change.

Viktor Frankl's framework, from Man's Search for Meaning, pp. 82 to 111.

Create a work or do a deed
Achievement or accomplishment, the most obvious route.
Experience something or encounter someone
Goodness, truth, beauty, nature, culture, or loving another person in their uniqueness.
Take an attitude to unavoidable suffering
When the situation cannot be changed, turn the tragedy into a human achievement by choosing how to bear it.

From chapter: II, pp. 82–111
