Frankl Discovered 3 Paths to Meaning

Creating purpose through meaningful action

Experiencing meaning through beauty and connection

Transforming suffering through your response

+

Doing stuff that matters, like work, art, helping others.

Frankl lifted spirits in camps with kindness.

You helped a stranger find the loo at Starbucks. Big or small, it counts.

The moments that hit you in the soul: love, nature, art, or a dog reuniting with its human.

Frankl found peace imagining his wife's smile.

You cried at that TikTok. No shame.

How you face what can't be changed, like heartbreak or your hairline.

Frankl turned loss into purpose.

You got ghosted, called it a "core wound," and dropped a bop on your playlist. Legend.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

Meaning Isn't Found, It's Built
You won't stumble across your life's purpose. Meaning comes from what you choose to create, experience, and how you respond to life's challenges.

Your "Why" Changes Everything
When you know why something matters to you, you can handle almost any difficulty.

Small Actions Count
Meaning doesn't require grand gestures. Helping someone find directions, creating something that matters to you, or choosing courage over comfort, it all adds up.

The Leap Is Worth It
You can't think your way into a meaningful life. At some point, you have to choose your direction and jump.

THE DAILY HIGHLAND PRACTICE
Ask yourself these three questions before sleep each night:
What did I create today that mattered?
Even a thoughtful message to a friend counts.
What did I experience deeply today?
A moment of beauty or connection.
What did I face that couldn't be changed?
And did I meet it with courage or grace?
CONGRATULATIONS!
Enlightenment pending… but you're dangerously close.
