The thing that gets us stuck isn’t us. It’s the script that we’ve decided is our only option. Call it out. Realise that it’s not the only option … Rewrite the script, rewrite the outcome.*
Seth Godin

We have already heard that the fulfilment of meaning is possible in three main directions: humans are able to give meaning by doing something, by acting, by creating – by bringing a work into being; secondly, by experiencing something – nature, art – or loving people; and thirdly, human being are able to find meaning even where finding value in life is not possible for them in either the first or the second way – namely, precisely when they take a stance toward the unalterable, fated, inevitable and unavoidable: how they adapt to this limitation, react towards it, how they accept their fate.**
Viktor Frankl

Every life comes with a script –
Where we are born and to whom, for starters –
But it is incomplete, and if there’s
one thing that we’re adept at, it’s bringing some
imagination and creativity to bear, rendering
the original narrative unrecognisable;
Where we take our stories is up to us.
