what man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving for a worthwhile goal, a freely chosen task. – victor e. frankl, holocaust survivor and author. there’s beauty in striving towards something you deem really worthwhile having. i have to remind myself of this constantly. often times we only focus on where we want to be or what we want to have. and if it doesn’t come soon enough, we get impatient and frustrated. this is to be expected. the fact is we don’t often place a high enough value in the striving towards a goal. we live in a world where we want it now and not later. this mindset is driving many of us to drink, eat, or…fill in the blank. but i would suggest our stress could be alleviated if we take time to realize the value in striving for something worthwhile. i often say that nothing truly worth having comes easy. you have to work for it. can’t you see this to be true? because if everything came easy, you wouldn’t really appreciate it. it’s the striving and the struggling for something that really makes you appreciate it when you finally get it. i challenge you to find a new appreciation for the process, for the journey, for the struggle, for the striving towards whatever it is you want. by doing so, you’ll find it’s a stress reliever and a game changer that will instantly add quality to your life.
