"What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him."
~ Viktor Frankl from Man's Search for Meaning
Wow.
Too often, we want to live in the “tensionless” state we can find watching television or, for some of us spiritual aspirants, in the state of meditation in meditation—transcending the throes of our daily challenges.
But that’s not the point of life.
The point?
To find a goal worthy of us and to spend our lives “striving and struggling” to fulfill the potentiality within us.
As we truly engage in this passionate pursuit of our potential, an effortless effort comes in that beats any idea of benign “tensionless-ness.”
Our potential is calling.
Let’s answer.
