DO EVERY ACT OF YOUR LIFE AS IF IT WERE THE VERY LAST ACT OF YOUR LIFE
- Marcus Aurelius - Roman emperor & philosopher

THE UNEXAMINED LIFE IS SURELY WORTH LIVING; BUT IS THE UNLIVED LIFE WIRTH EXAMINING ?
Adam Phillips, British psycho analyst & philosopher (1954 - ), Freudian existentialist

Modern man is so preoccupied with the lives he has not lived, that he misses out on appreciating the only one life he actually has. We drift from “what might have been” into “what next”, forgetting NOW.

Adopt a meaning & try to imagine the outcome of adopting that meaning on yourself. How would I feel with that meaning, even in the wirst oossible situations.
= an existential exercise. Live as if you would live your 2nd life, and as though you had acted weongly the first time.

DREAM UP A BETTER WAY OF LIVING; with each decision you make.

Every hour we are offered the opportunity to make a decision, a decision which determined whether you will or will not submit to those powers that threathen to rob you of your very self, your inner integrity & freedom. Which determine whether or not you would become the plaything of circumstance where you loose your dignity.
Finding the meaning of life implies finding something to be positive about. And vice versa.

The need for “logos” (Greek dor meaning) supersedes all other drives (Freud’s sex drive, Adler’s power drive).
= Logotherapy > the Third Viennese School of psychotherapy.
Even when we think we have lost all control over our life, we may yet control our attitude over our lives.

Live as you would live a second time. And as though you had acted wrong ly the first time.

Each person always possesses the freedom to choose a meaning for his life - a reason to remain alive - and that “finding meaning” answers man most basic drive.
NEVERTHELESS , SAY YES TO LIFE !
