because i cannot say it in my own words, hear this...
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
Viktor E. Frankl

Remember when you said you were dying? How is that working out for you?
however, we're all "dying" one second of each minute, of each hour of each day of our mortal lives on planet earth.
"How" is this [realization during your global travels] "working out for you?"

Honesty and respect are the foundation of any friendship with a woman here or anywhere else.
Why? Because women are attracted to a man's strength not a male or a boy's weakness.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyUnderscoring these five, mature women are attracted to mature men with an authentic sense of humor. Why? Ask your mother or an older sister. Seventh, in both friendship and romance, learn to read this unique woman's status: in conversation, know when an ellipsis or a comma or period or silence is in order.

Originally posted by HandyAndyFrankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" was required reading for me in high school...not required by by school, but by my very wise mother, who refused to allow me to graduate until I had read it. Frankl's eloquence is magnified by understanding that his work on logotherapy was continued and applied in the direst of human conditions. His observation that the essential human freedom is the ability to choose one's attitude in the face of the any given circumstance has given me the ability to forge forward during the most difficult times in my life.

I concur that MSFM is a valuable read.
